Thanks for this tip. dcopfind prints only the first kpdf process and dcopstart 
doesn't even do that on my system (v3.5.3) :-(.
The following trick works:

kpdf $* &
pid=$!
timeout=15
while [ $((timeout--)) -gt 0 ]; do
        sleep 1
        test "$(dcop kpdf-$pid $ACTION property enabled)" == true &&
             dcop kpdf-$pid $ACTION activate && break
done
wait $pid

Thanks .. Subbu
