Here is the link to the Ubuntu Evince troubleshooting page:

https://wiki.edubuntu.org/DebuggingEvince

The one that seems very possible in your situation is that the font
contained in the PDF file is not installed in your Ubuntu distro and it
is using an alternate font that somehow is causing the problem.

The link also has links to the bugzilla page for Evince.
