I figured out it may have to do with how the PDF file was created. In
the attachment, none of the links are activated - meaning, the mouse
pointer does not change when I hover over the link, and the link is not
clickable.

I re-created page 3 of the first attachment using OpenOffice's "Export
to PDF" function. With the resulting document, the links work; however,
it only pops up an error stating "Failed to execute child process
"firefox" (No such file or directory)". I don't know how to change the
command for launching the browser from within Evince, so I had to create
a symlink to firefox-2 in usr/bin/ to make it work.
