Public bug reported:
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.
