The attached pdf is generated by the german railway's online booking system.  Okular refuses to open it, saying "Could not open file ...", console output:

the file is not a pdf, rename it to .ps and that's all
Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2008-11-09 15:21:22 UTC 
SVN commit 881991 by pino:

Shuffle a bit the way documents are opened:
- when there are no backends for handling the document mimetype, try harder using the mimetype from the file content only
- when the backend fails loading, try again with the backend that handles the mimetype of the file content
