I've had my fair share of PDF issues over the years. Whenever I've had
weird issues like this in the past I've usually done one of two things to
fix it. If it's a web based PDF make sure you download it to the hard drive
and open in a proper program (sometimes the browser based readers have
caused me problems). If it's already on the computer sometimes swapping
reader application helps, I've found Okular to be quick good but there are
a few in the repositories.

While I know this doesn't "fix" the issue it might help you get it to a
working state for now.
