1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04

2) apt-cache policy evince
evince:
  Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen with the attached document is when one searches for:
über

it is found:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/116453/+attachment/102979/+files/example.pdf

4) What happens instead is it does not return any matches. This is reproducible as far back as Ubuntu 7.04 with evince 0.8.1-0ubuntu1, with the older poppler version built for it, so probably not a regression.

WORKAROUND: Use the built-in PDF viewer+search with chromium-browser or chrome (doesn't work in Firefox).

apt-cache policy chromium-browser
