Hi, I just tried to open your file on today's 13.04 daily build and it is working just fine.

[Frank Lanitz (frlan)]

So what's the next steps? Will there be a backport of a fix?

Confirm in Ubuntu 13.10 x86, Evince 3.10.0.

Evince "SEGMENTATION FAULT" when opening any of the attached PDFs. When start from terminal I got the following:
(evince:6572): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed
SEGMENTATION FAULT (Core Dumped)

What I can be sure is that all the attached PDF are created by "Xerox WorkCentre Pro 275", can be open OK with Adobe Reader in Windows, and also open OK with MuPDF in Ubuntu 13.10 x86.
