Start `emacs -Q'
eval (setq-default major-mode 'text-mode)
visit a pdf or postscript file
Type C-c C-c twice
doc-view-toggle-display: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
The problem is that doc-view-toggle-display assumes that if the
major-mode is text-mode the user is viewing the document's text
contents. But that's incorrect if the default value of major-mode
is text-mode so that this mode is also used for a "raw" pdf or
postscript file.

Right, thanks for the pointer. Now I use a separate mode (which is
actually just `view-mode' with a doc-view-specific value for
major-mode).
Bye,
