Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

http://www.mtu.edu/gradschool/administration/academics/forms-deadlines/pdfs/degree-completion.pdf

This PDF apparently takes advantage of some features that are not part of Evince, So I can't read the PDF. :(

When I open this file, it just tells me to install Adobe Acrobat..... I really prefer to use FOSS Evince. :)
