Something happened to my text when I clicked on "Add an attachment", but the above document is something that evince in 14.04.1 x64 cannot handle. I could read it in 12.04.5 x64 with Adobe Reader but not with evince. So I have a number of PDF documents that I cannot read since I have upgraded because Adobe has abandoned Linux. Try to open it and you will get a white screen with the following:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html I am on 14.04.1 x64 with evince 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.1 and poppler-utils 0.24.5-2ubuntu4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282151 Title: evince won't open PDF files other readers can handle Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I've found that the version of evince in 14.04 has perhaps become too strict and won't open PDF files that work in other readers. For example with the SPC-4 SCSI spec available from http://www.t10.org /cgi-bin/ac.pl?t=f&f=spc4r36q.pdf , I get: $ evince spc4r36q.pdf Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table and the evince window has a red bar saying "PDF document is damaged" However, the built-in firefox PDF renderer works fine with that file, as does mupdf.
