The reason is probably that pdftotext is used with the -raw option,  
which deletes all empty lines leading white space. There is another  
option: -layout.

I think doc-view should check the number of pages first (pdfinfo  
<file> | grep -i pages | awk '{print $NF}'). If the number is greater  
1 than -layout should be more appropriate ...


BTW, -layout is bit faster!
