23.0.60; bewildering behavior when visit new file throw.pdf |

emacs -Q
I did C-x C-f throw.pdf, with no existing file throw.pdf. The
ensuing messages and interaction were bewildering.
An extremely long message appeared in the echo area:
"No image (png) support available or some conversion utility for pdf
files is missing. Type C-c C-c to switch to an editing mode or C-c
C-t to open a buffer showing the doc as text."
But the new, empty file throw.pdf appeared to be visited with no
problem. I tried to type into it. That threw me back to the previous
buffer I had been in (Dired), and crazy error msgs were displayed.
I tried again, and this time I tried to type `C-c C-t', since the
message indicated that that would open the buffer as text. That too
led to errors.
I don't know exactly what happened, but you will, as soon as you try
it. ;-)
This is the *Messages* buffer:

Hi all,
I'm closing that bug, cause I think doc-view does TRT now. If you don't
agree, please drop me a mail...
Bye,
Tassilo
