First, as a downloaded file it opens without problems on the e-ink and LCD screens of my EE.
Looking at the beginning of the file it appears to be a standard PDF with no strange settings or ColorSpace - the usual problem with opening PDFs produced by an older version of distiller.

Regarding our testing and checking of PDF files, we have a set of OBJECT REXX scripts (using OS/2) that check for problems with things like ColorSpace, missing %%, incorrect section endings and so on. This file passes without producing any warnings at all.
Now the question arises, how are you getting the PDF on to your EE? There could be a problem introduced when you download the file - what that could be I can't even guess because I don't know your procedure.
I have seen file corruption caused by network elements, usually home plug or similar units. I have had the odd case of conflicting WiFi - same channel and close proximity was setting up an interference pattern that would cause strange things to happen to files transferred. In this case it was intermittent because of usage patterns.
At the moment all I can do is throw out ideas because I can't reproduce the problem you have, at least with this PDF, sorry.
