Adam Reichold posted a new comment:
Hello,

just for completeness and future reference, following the dbus-python
tutorial at [1], the following Python script will open a file given as a
command line argument in qpdfview without raising qpdfview's window:

echo >jtpooint.py <<EOF
#!/usr/bin/env python2

import sys
import dbus

from os.path import abspath


if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    print 'usage: %s file_name' % sys.argv[0]

file_path = abspath(sys.argv[1])

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
proxy = bus.get_object('local.qpdfview', '/MainWindow')
iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, 'local.qpdfview.MainWindow')

iface.jumpToPageOrOpenInNewTab(file_path)

EOF
