Public bug reported: I have recently found that evince 3.6.1 (3.6.1-1ubuntu) will only display the first page of certain PDF files. I can open the files in Adobe Reader XI under Windows 7 Enterprise. In this manner I can confirm that the documents have more than one page.
Evince properly handles the majority of PDF documents that I come across. It appears that the files that evince "thinks" have only 1 page are PDF version 1.7 according to file(1). Here is an example. The "Manuals for HP 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch" document listing [1] on hp.com lists several PDF files. "HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Installation Guide" [2] opens correctly and evince shows it has 33 pages (which Adobe Reader agrees with). Firefox has saved a temporary copy of it, and file(1) shows: $ file /tmp/Download-2.pdf /tmp/Download-2.pdf: PDF document, version 1.6 The "R2306-HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Command References" document [3] opens in evince, but evince shows that it has only 1 page (see file "evince-onepage.png"). Adobe Reader shows that it has 15 titles of various lengths. The first title, "About the HP 6125XLG Blade Command Refernces" is 8 pages. file(1) for this pdf shows: $ file /tmp/emr_na-c03933238-1-3.pdf /tmp/emr_na-c03933238-1-3.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7 Perhaps it is these "composite" PDF files that evince can't handle.
