I just dealt with it by removing poppler-qt3 and kdemod3-kdegraphics-pdf.

poppler-qt3 doesn't even seem to exist in any of the repos anymore.  And 
KDE3 is pretty much a dead project at this point anyway.  (I don't even 
think it's possible to build it on Arch anymore.)  Probably best if you 
don't rely on it for anything.
