I also tried naming the file art%253A10.1007%252FBF01034471.pdf as the OP had done. I can ls -l the file and open it as well. Both documents were created by right clicking and creating a new document and renaming the file to have a % in the file name. Second file was also created as a pdf from LibreOffice and still worked properly. The problem may be specific to the file you have or your installation of Ubuntu. Can you give more information to help us issolate your particular problem?

So there are extra escape sequences for percent sign (I know that %25 is a code for %). If I try to ls -l /home/username/Documents/PDFs/art%253A10.1007%252FBF01034471.pdf I got ls: cannot access /home/username/Documents/PDFs/art%253A10.1007%252FBF01034471.pdf: No such file or directory. If i try to navigate to correct file /home/username/Documents/PDFs/art%3A10.1007%2FBF01034471.pdf I get no error. So there is an error in % sign processing in evince.
