Evince doesn't display this "type" of pdf properly.

[Steven Sciame]

Binary package hint: evince

My work sends me pdf files that do not display properly in evince. Attached is an example. These work in XP. I am wondering if it is possible to get some sort of plugin or fix to get evince to properly display. The attached document is a mostly blank version of a document that normally contains private info.

It seems to me that the file itself is broken. Opening it with evince and xpdf gives many errors:

Do you know how this document is created?

Acrobat reader 8.1.3 seems to work (but I don't know how it is supposed to look).
