PDF test case (n-400 from from http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf)

Forwarding a bug report from GNOME Bugzilla:

evince 3.4.0 as shipped in fc17

This PDF doesn't display in evince: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf

I just get a "Please wait..." message:

    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the
    document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document


I tested it with the latest poppler from master (poppler-glib-demo) and I can reproduce the problem.  The full text is:

"Please wait...

This is a dup for both poppler and gnome; that pdf was previously
reported as an example of a LiveCycle form which, while embedded
in a pdf, isn't really a pdf.

AIUI, ecmascript support will be a necessary but insufficient
requirement to support LiveCycle files.  And LiveCycle isn't —
again, AIUI — documented.

I'm marking it as dulicate of 14265 that is one of the javascript bugs, it's not really the same, but once we have javascript (if we ever get there) we can start getting bugs about it again
