Evince won't open another pdf from a link within a pdf file

[TerpInHotLanta]

Binary package hint: evince

I have a PDF file that has links to other pdf files within it (e.g. the table of contents). When I click on one of these links nothing happens.

Previously, I was able to run these files with no problem in Gutsy, but since upgrading to Hardy, it has stopped working.

thanks for your report, can you attach that pdf file? thanks.

[TerpInHotLanta (ccampjr)]

I should also add that the file worked in KPDF just fine.

As for attaching the file, I'll try and make a file that does the same thing-- the file I tested is copyrighted (and I'm not in the financial situation to get sued)

I have encountered this problem too :
My pdf is not copyrighted and everything should work...but it's not the case
My version is 2.22.2

This is still a problem in Jaunty (using AMD64). I have attached a file which demonstrates the problem.
When the link in the file is clicked with evince (assuming the target -- /tmp/test.pdf -- is present), evince *SHOULD* open the file, but it does not, and the new evince window which is launched contains an error message: "Error opening file: No such file or directory".

If the same PDF file is opened in Adobe's acrobat reader, it opens the target file with no problems.

confirmed here, on latest jaunty

Still here on Maverick, for instance with https://www.galaxie.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ensup/ListesPostesPublies/Emplois_publies_TrieParCorps.pdf
