Same thing with Okular (KDE4).

Interestingly enough, it also says there are embedded documents, which
I can save out. There's another pdf in there about "Budget" or
something..

PDF 1.4 is an open standard, but Adobe products tend to "extent" the
standard which can make their PDFs incompatible with standards based
readers. Most annoying..
