Title:
  Wrong permissions when using Save As

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  ===================

  1. Download a PDF from the internet.
  2. When Firefox asks what to do with the file, choose the option to open it in Evince.
  3. Once the PDF is open in Evince, do a File > Save as.
  4. Observe that the file is created with the permissions 0400.

  Correct behavior:
  =================

  Evince should follow the same permissions model as other programs,
  using the umask to determine the default permissions, which would be
  0644 on a default Ubuntu machine.

  Impact of the bug:
  ==================

  Because of the incorrect permissions, it's impossible to directly
  overwrite an affected PDF without manually fixing the permissions. It
  makes no sense not to give the owner write permission by default, as
  any situations where 0400 permissions were desirable would surely be
  corner cases.
