I am seeing this in Evince 3.10.3 after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. A
Google search first sent me to Bug #1214874, which was marked as a
duplicate of Bug #1096837 -- an AppArmor issue.  THAT bug says it was
fixed last August in evince version 3.10.3-0ubuntu15, but unfortunately
that's a Utopic package, and Trusty has only been updated from
3.10.3-0ubuntu10 to 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.2 .

I gather this particular fix is not being backported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
"Trusty"? Anyone willing to sponsor a SRU to get this fix into Trusty?

Title:
  "Save Copy As" with file opened from Firefox results in restrictive
  permissions

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Unknown
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A common usage pattern of mine is to download PDF's through Firefox by
  clicking the link and selecting "Open with", on occasion I'd like to
  keep the PDF's so use the File->Save a Copy As menu item in Evince to
  save a copy in my home directory.

  The files are copied with the same permissions they have when
  downloaded by Firefox to tmp (r--------) - this leads to the protected
  badge icon being displayed over the file in Nautilus and a file which
  is less accessible (from a privileges perspective) than others created
  and saved to my home directory (with the default permissions of rw-
  rw-r--).

  I think it would be good to remain consistent with the default
  permissions when effectively creating a new document rather than
  maintaining the more restrictive permissions of the temporary file.
