Bug Description

Evince crashes when opening some PDF files. Those PDF files that cause Evince to crash have been tested using Okular and Acrobat Reader (under Windows), and neither Okular or Acrobat Reader reported any errors when viewing the files which cause Evince to crash.

A copy of one PDF which causes Evince to crash is attached. The error is readily repeatable.

Please note that the attached PDF file is copyright "Woodsmith Magazine". This PDF File is an extract of a much larger Magazine PDF file and was created by myself using the "PrintSelected Pages to File Type PDF" option in the Print Dialog Box in Ubuntu 14.10. Under Ubuntu 14.10, this PDF file was opened without error. However, since upgrading to 15.04 Development Branch, Evince has consistently crashed when reading various PDF Files.

Please advise if there is any further diagnostic information your require.
