Evince cannot display PDF document

[Michael Jones]

Binary package hint: evince

Evince doesn't display the pdf document found here: http://smartbear.com/best-kept-secrets-of-peer-code-review/ correctly. Instead, it displays "This document requires adobe reader 6.01 or later"

I'm not sure this is really a bug or a feature... Could you maybe forward this bug to the upstream bugtracker for poppler (the PDF rendering backend used by evince): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ ? The reason why I'm saying that it might be a feature: The analysis in this mailing thread (for another document showing the same message) http://<email address hidden>/msg03460.html suggests that such PDF documents include flash software used for tracking who is reading the document and reporting back to the publisher -- I'm quite sure the poppler developers do not want to build in support for that... Either way, a warning message explaining this would be nice.
