Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
From File->property you can get the dimensions of a PDF you're viewing.
At 100% zoom level, the document is about 20% smaller (in each dimension) than it should be.
For comparison, screenruler shows the right dimensions, so it should be possible taking screenruler's detection algorithm which seems to work better.
[Update]
The cause is a discrepancy between the DPI value in Gnome and in X: All other programs read the Gnome value, while Evince reads from X.

Stefano, does this happen to all pdf files in your machine?
Here's a similar screenshot from mine, where the dimensions seem right...
