I forgot to mention: 
It works fine with kpdf and pdf2ps. 
I tested some other pdf-programs, but for those, every file was displayed (it's probably nowhere defined, that they take a pdf as arg).
The bug, as described, only happens with xpdf.

If a program like xpdf doesn't have completions installed for it, it's up to you to construct a zstyle completion line for it in your .zshrc if you want stuff like simple file glob completion.
