Hi, Fabrizio!
It is strange for me, because I can't reproduce the problem you have described.
I tested evince, evince-previewer and okular. Everything seems to work fine!
Maybe something wrong with your ~/.kicad_common? Please, check that your
favorite viewer is updated in ~/.kicad_common.
Alexander.
