Title:
  Indexed document opens unwanted multiple windows

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I just got a huge technical documentation from work, it weights 600MB and is divided into many chapters and sections. But instead of being a single huge PDF file, it is split in many individual (1,075) smaller PDF files, one for each section and sub-section. In the index when you click on a chapter, it automatically loads the appropriate PDF file and displays it in the same window. So, to the user, it is completely transparent and behaves as though it were a single huge PDF file rather than a multitude of smaller PDF's.
  Along side the PDF files, there is a special folder named "index", which contains 9 sub-folders, around 35 files in all, weighting around 10MB. I assume it contains all the data to help the PDF viewer organise everything as required.

  The problem I have with Evince is that every time I click in the index
  to jump to a different section, it opens the corresponding PDF file in
  a new window instead of loading it in the original window. This makes
  navigating very painful, and breaks the intended integrity of the
  document.

  I am hoping it is fairly easy to fix ? If not, you may contact the
  developers of "Okular", it is KDE's document viewver, Evince's KDE
  counterpart. I tried to open my document with half a dozen different
  PDF viewer, and Okular was the only one that behaved as
  expected/intended.

  I would rather use Evince though (being a long time Gnome addict)...

  The document being rather confidential, I am unfortunately unable to
  upload it, so if you need to try things out, please tell me what to do
  and I will execute ! ;-)
