In Evince upstream, we have seen similar reports in the past, but all of
them have turned out to be Ubuntu specific (i.e. issues with apparmor).

As per comment https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661936#c9:

----
File named test:

[12219.529055] type=1400 audit(1420318053.543:106): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="open" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/var/run/test" pid=22519
comm="EvJobScheduler" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

After renaming to test.pdf it works as expected.

This does not apply if file is in user home dir. Looks to me like distro
(namely Ubuntu) specific.

Title:
  Permission Denied error when reading a pdf format file whos name
  doesn't end in .pdf

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

Bug description:
  When opening a pdf document that has a name ending in '.pdf' the
  document opens as expected. However, when opening a pdf document whose
  name does not end in '.pdf',, evince gives the error "Permission
  Denied".

  To Reproduce:
  0. Obtain a PDF document.
  1. Make a copy of it. 
  2. Rename the copy so that the name does not end in '.pdf'.
  3. Open the original copy. Notice that there is no error.
  4. Open the renamed copy and notice that the document is not opened and instead the error "Permission Denied" is given.
