Bug Description

Evince 3.14 (actually 3.13.90) introduces support for correct PDF rendering
on high DPI screen. On previous version, if the "Scale for menu and titlebar"
is set (or any equivalent high DPI related setting) the PDF is blurry.
See original upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723431

Reason for the backport:
========================
All documents are blurry on evince if the "Scale for menu and titlebar" option
is set, which is probably is on the majority of the machines with high DPI screen.
This makes Evince on high DPI screen almost useless and another software has
to be used to view PDF.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s utopic -d trusty evince

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of evince. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new evince. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new evince installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
