Version: 2.20.2 What were you doing when the application crashed? Opening Adobe's PDF Reference and Related Documentation (Updated on Oct. 23, 2007 with revised errata), available from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html This crash isn't reliable -- sometimes the document opens successfully and I can view the attachments just fine, sometimes the document opens successfully, but attempting to open the attachments gives an error dialog.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 415714 ***
415714 is for evince 0.7.2 and a different PDF, are you sure this is a duplicate bug?
yes, it's not a bug in evince but in poppler, so what matters is not the evince version but the poppler version.
Then you should probably use RESOLVED NOTGNOME or create a generic "This is an upstream problem" bug to make these kinds of bugs duplicates of so reporters get some idea of what's going on. Especially considering the upstream bug a) exists and b) is (well, was) waiting for example PDFs that cause this crash. Doing nothing about a crasher bug with over a hundred duplicates in less than a year is bad form.

I already marked this as dupl of bug #415714 which is already closed as NOTGNOME.
