I had a hunch about something so I went to investigate. I found that cairo
is not being build with pdf and ps support. This may be what is causing the
evince backend issues. I am going to retry building cairo and see if these
values change. I don't see poppler listed as a dependency for cairo. This
could explain why.

And the following internal features:
  pthread:       no (disabled, use --enable-pthread to enable)
  gtk-doc:       no
  gcov support:  no
  symbol-lookup: no (requires bfd)
  test surfaces: no (disabled, use --enable-test-surfaces to enable)
  ps testing:    no (requires libspectre)
  pdf testing:   no (requires poppler-glib >= 0.13.3)
  svg testing:   no (requires librsvg-2.0 >= 2.15.0)
  win32 printing testing:    yes
