How to prevent evince from contacting other instances?
It seems that previous Evince versions (up to 2.28) had the
behavior I described in my question. Fortunately, version 2.30
changed that behavior to the one I wanted.
So, the answer is: update Evince to 2.30 or newer.

Why does Evince for Windows look so much cleaner than the Linux version?
You say "Linux", but you might be looking at two entirely
different versions of Evince, depending on which "Linux" you're
using. The name and exact version number of your Linux distro
would help. Chances are good that simply using the latest stable
version of Evince on Linux will resolve the issue. Evince, and
all GNOME programs, have been rapidly changing of late due to the
release of a new major version of GNOME (GNOME 3). If you are
running a pre-GNOME3 distro, in particular, it will have very old
versions of packages.

bogus memory allocation size in RedHat Linux Enterprise 5
You could try ghostscript or Okular or kpdf or another free
viewer.
You could install Foxit or Adobe reader proprietary software for
Linux.
You could see if there are updates available for your RHE5
system.
You could report the bug and wait for Red Hat to fix it. :)

files. For example, you can pass the location on the web or
load a file from a FTP server, like
"ftp://adobe.com/sample.pdf".
