Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello,

Since Evince and qpdfview use the same Poppler library behind the
scenes, there should be no fundamental difference on which documents
both applications can open. I rather guess that the file type detection
is not working correctly in qpdfview but it is hard to know which the
document in question. You could in any case try to launch qpdfview from
a terminal to see if it outputs any more helpful error messages.

If you are using the PPA, you are also using a Qt4-based build, so
libmagic is used to detect the file type. This means you can also try to
run the "file" command on the document and see what it determines. It
the result is not PDF, flatting the document using the "pdf2ps" and then
"ps2pdf" commands might be a workaround.

Best regards, Adam.
