I don't use desktop, so could you give me a recipe?

No, that shouldn't be needed.  AFAIK desktop saves the files you were
looking at when closing emacs, and on startup it reopens them, right?
So when reopening a pdf that was already converted before, it should use
the cached files.  Is it possible that you accidentially deleted them?

Basically there should be no difference in `C-x C-f foo.pdf' and desktop
opening it.  Does a conversion start when you open a pdf with find-file
for the second time?
