Fresh install of lubuntu 12.10. Tried opening PDF files with Document Viewer (evince) by double clicking but once the application opens I am presented with a red bar saying "No such file or directory".
So I thought I would run evince file.pdf
to see if any errors are displayed. But none... The document opens as expected.
Why the discrepancy? I really don't want to use terminal every time I want to open a PDF.

Filenames like:
- 2012_expense_report_week#32.pdf
- $100-$200_Donators.pdf
- 2013_budget~draft3.pdf
After playing around with file naming conventions it turns out that the # character was the culprit. I used a bulk renaming script to remove them as well as all other non-alphanumeric characters and now everything is peachy.
I am not sure if this is the general rule because the files opened normally on Ubuntu Gnome Remix (nautilus file manager).
Maybe this is only an issue when using Lubuntu (pcfileman file manager).
