The problem is it not with evince, but with the PDF. It is a bad PDF.

A file of the same name - http://gps-gimp-paint-studio.googlecode.com/files/GPS_Gimp%20Paint%20Studio%201_2%20manual.pdf , works properly. It is also identical with your file for the first 3047386 bytes, but your file improperly terminates (as if in a download that was cut short early) while the other one goes on for another 123202 bytes, where it closes up properly with an EOF and the like.

I suggest you download the file again from http://gps-gimp-paint-studio.googlecode.com/files/GPS_Gimp%20Paint%20Studio%201_2%20manual.pdf or some other location.
