[Okular-devel] Pdf files not opening

[Pulkit Gupta]

Oh sorry for the sir part :)
I was able to fix the problem, I had to run 'export KDEDIRS' command
each time I open terminal as it doesn't remember it until I write it
directly in bash.
By the way, I was also able to fix a bug and have posted it for a
review at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122752/
Please review it :D
Regards
Pulkit
