Public bug reported:

When I create a pdf with a link to an absolute path (e.g.
/home/me/link.pdf) and open it in evince it tries to read it as relative
to the path of the opened pdf, e.g. if I open /home/me/doc.pdf and click
on the preceding link evince tries to open /home/me/home/me/link.pdf. It
should open /home/me/link.pdf, otherwise the user is unable to link to
files outside the local directory

Ubuntu 16.04.1
Evince 3.18.2-1ubuntu4
