PDF thumbnails are not generated

Thumbnails for pdf files are not being generated somehow. I do have the version from 20.04 (0.2.8-1). Everything else is working, jpg, png, cr2..

Edit: I can see the evince-thumbnailer doing stuff in tmp, but it does not result in working thumbnails somehow...

# Priority:    Priority of the plugin if more plugins support the same
#              uri-scheme / mime-type combination.
# Locations:   ;-separated path list the plugin will be used in. If the
#              source file is not a child of one of the locations, the
#              plugin won't be used and another plugin with a lower
#              priority will be tried.
#              Absolute paths, environement variables, ~/ and ~username/
#              are allowed. Leave empty to allow all locations.
# MaxFileSize: Maximum size of the source file the plugin will still
#              try to generate a plugin for. The size is in bytes,
#              0 disabled the check.
