In Evince upstream, we have seen similar reports in the past, but all of them have turned out to be Ubuntu specific (i.e. issues with apparmor).
As per comment https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661936#c9:
---- File named test:
[12219.529055] type=1400 audit(1420318053.543:106): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/var/run/test" pid=22519 comm="EvJobScheduler" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0
After renaming to test.pdf it works as expected.
This does not apply if file is in user home dir. Looks to me like distro (namely Ubuntu) specific. ----
