Public bug reported:
When I double click on a PDF file (say somedoc.pdf) in Nautilus 2.16.1, instead
of opening the file in Evince a dialog box pops up saying
---------------------------------------------------
Cannot open ChomboDesign-1.4.pdf
The filename "ChomboDesign-1.4.pdf" indicates that this file is of type
"pdf document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of
type "PDF document". If you open this file, the file might present a
security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file
from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct
extension for "PDF document", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use
the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
---------------------------------------------------
This happens with every PDF file. When using right click - Open with -- Open
with "Document Viewer" everything works as expected.
