Title:
  evince displays only first page of certain PDFs

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have recently found that evince 3.6.1 (3.6.1-1ubuntu) will only display
  the first page of certain PDF files.  I can open the files in Adobe Reader
  XI under Windows 7 Enterprise.  In this manner I can confirm that the
  documents have more than one page.  

  Evince properly handles the majority of PDF documents that I come across.
  It appears that the files that evince "thinks" have only 1 page are PDF
  version 1.7 according to file(1).

  Here is an example.  The "Manuals for HP 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch"
  document listing [1] on hp.com lists several PDF files.  "HP 6125XLG
  Blade Switch Installation Guide" [2] opens correctly and evince shows
  it has 33 pages (which Adobe Reader agrees with).  Firefox has saved a
  temporary copy of it, and file(1) shows:

    $ file /tmp/Download-2.pdf
    /tmp/Download-2.pdf: PDF document, version 1.6

  The "R2306-HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Command References" document [3]
  opens in evince, but evince shows that it has only 1 page (see file
  "evince-onepage.png").  Adobe Reader shows that it has 15 titles of
  various lengths.  The first title, "About the HP 6125XLG Blade Command
  Refernces" is 8 pages.

  file(1) for this pdf shows:

    $ file /tmp/emr_na-c03933238-1-3.pdf
    /tmp/emr_na-c03933238-1-3.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7

  Perhaps it is these "composite" PDF files that evince can't handle.
