How the same file is shown on Evince (left) and Firefox (right)

Hello there,
I first reported it to Evince developers, but they said it is a Poppler specific problem and must be reported here.

So, I received by email a link to download the file wich is a pass to a rock show.

I opened it with Evince and couldn't read the content, the text was shown as strange characters. Since I don't have another PDF reader, I tried open it with Firefox (built-in PDF reader) and it shows the text correct.

The PDF file can be downloaded here: http://www.rockbones.com.br/?download_ticket=1416&order_key=1454909264&download_ticket_nonce=de41ca04e0

I'm on Arch Linux, with Evince version 3.18.2 and poppler 0.40.0.

Regards.

Firefox says "Server not found". Can you attach the PDF file here?

Interestingly copy&pasting the text seems to work.
