Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug. This path is:
Decoded: /windows/Documents and Settings/Dave/My Documents/test/

AppArmor has denied access to this directory because it is not a standard 
location for files, therefore you must adjust your profile to allow access to 
the /windows folder.  This can be done by adding the following to 
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince:
  /windows/** rw,

Followed by:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince

Keep in mind that if there is a flaw in evince or (much more likely) one
of the image/PDF libraries, opening a malicious file could allow an
attacker to write to this directory. See
http://en.opensuse.org/AppArmor_Geeks#Anatomy_of_a_Profile for more
information on AppArmor profiling.
