I just tried to open it with LibreOffice, but 15 minutes later it was still stuck and non-responsive, so I went to the screen with htop running as root and had it do a kill -9 on it, my poor old quad core phenom was burning up.
Aha, okular, despite spitting out several screens full of errors on launch from a terminal, opens it AND displays it. So now I know where to take this complaint. So basically, anyone running the TDE version of kpdf, which is a fork of kde-3.5, should nuke it and use okular.
