Title:
  evince won't open PDF files other readers can handle

Status in Poppler:
  Unknown
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I've found that the version of evince in 14.04 has perhaps become too
  strict and won't open PDF files that work in other readers.  For
  example with the SPC-4 SCSI spec available from http://www.t10.org
  /cgi-bin/ac.pl?t=f&f=spc4r36q.pdf , I get:

  $ evince spc4r36q.pdf 
  Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
  Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table
  Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
  Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table

  and the evince window has a red bar saying "PDF document is damaged"

  However, the built-in firefox PDF renderer works fine with that file,
  as does mupdf.
