I use Okular myself.  I don't recall it ever giving me a error.  It
opens fine as long as the file isn't corrupt or something.  Unless you
have it installed already, you may not want LOo installed.  It is a bit
large for opening and printing a pdf file.  Overkill would be putting it
lightly.  LOL  If you have it installed already tho, I think it opens
and prints pdf files. 

To the point someone else mentioned.  If you have a program that uses qt
and all qt packages aren't at the right version, usually the same
numbering, you will get errors.  I've ran into that in the past with
several programs.  Some qt package fails to compile during a update and
some are the new version and some are the old.  When I try to start a
program that uses qt, it pukes a error on my keyboard about the
mismatch.  That's the only way I've ever seen that error tho.  Once I
get all the qt packages to the same version, then things work like it
should.  I might add, some KDE packages do that as well.  I'm sure there
are other packages that have to be updated together to work correctly as
well. 

First, tell us what you are using and what generates the error.  Second,
make sure all the qt packages are at the same version.  If needed, a
screenshot of the error is better than nothing.
