Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

Would it be possible for evince to somehow explain _why_ it cannot print
or save a document, instead of just graying out the "Save a copy" menu
item?

I know I can just right-click a PDF link and "Save as...", it's just
confusing when I don't get to know why I can't save the document...

This could maybe be done with a pop-up [dialog], a "tooltip", changed
title bar text, some info showing up in the Properties window, an
information bar... ?

"Could it be due to the access/copy rights on specific pdf files you're viewing?
you can override these restrictions by setting 
"/apps/evince/override_restrictions" with gconf-editor."
