Evince is providing the best error message it can with the information
available to it. The AppArmor mandatory access control system has
rejected this because the filename doesn't match something expected for
evince to open.
You can modify the file /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.evince to include
whatever files you want to allow. I suggest something like:
owner @{HOME}/Downloads/** r,
assuming, of course, that your browser has downloaded the file to your
Downloads/ directory.
Once you have modified the file to include permissions you want to
allow, you can run:
sudo apparmor_parser --replace /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
