+*** Displaying PDF files in DocView produces an empty buffer.
+
+This can happen if your Emacs is configured to convert PDF to SVG for
+display, and the version of the MuPDF package you have installed has a
+a known bug, whereby it sometimes produces invalid SVG images.
+Version 1.21 of MuPDF is known to be affected.
+
+The solution is either to upgrade or downgrade to a version of MuPDF
+that doesn't have this bug, or to disable conversion of PDF files to
+SVG images by customizing the user option 'doc-view-mupdf-use-svg'.
+Emacs will then convert PDF to PNG images instead.
