  Surprisingly it returns process had event finished syaing
  that process completed. And looking in the suitable directory
  one can see that the corresponding pdf file has been
  created. In fact the piece of code above is not very
  different from the doc-view-start-process function. Hence
  it's difficult to understand why this one works since the
  doc-view-start-process seems to fail.
