Document asks for Adobe Reader X

[Simon B.]

I try to open a PDF portfolio with evince and it advises me to download Adobe Reader X.

It took me some time to figure out I have to click on the side pane dropbox and choose "Attached files" to be able to see the contents of the PDF portfolio.

How about displaying these files at start?

Can you please provide the exact steps to take to reproduce this bug?

1. Open a PDF portfolio
2. See the message. I believe the software used to create the portfolio (probably from Adobe) has bundled this message as a normal pdf fallback in case the viewer doesn't handle pdf portfolios. However, it is misleading because I thought it is evince that sends this message.

Attaching a snapshot.

Thanks Simon.

An example file is available at http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/feature-details/acrobat/axi/pdfs/combine-pdf-files-portfolio-sample.pdf

I probably don't have their permission to attach it.

It is really a hidden feature of Evince. Not easy to discover how to open the embedded documents.

Also, bookmarks don't seem to work in PDF Portfolio documents.
