Issuing the following command...

flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Evince.flatpakref

gives

The system I'm on is Debian Stretch

uname -a
Linux a-Laptop 4.14.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1~bpo9+1 (2018-01-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've looked through previous issues here, but I'm not a programmer and I'm kinda lost at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

Looks like upstream purposefully broke it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/commit/adc1fb72c8eca9e2bf9aaf905d9b645db6b2c0c9

EDIT:

Actually the comment here is correct: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/merge_requests/98#note_341089

It should work if you have a modern flatpak.

I'd still say this situation is far from ideal and something needs renamed but we could just require a newer flatpak version to keep the package as-is.

I'm unsure what version fixed this though, I found this commit: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/8f428fd7683765dd706da06e9f376d3732ce5c0c

But that is ancient and Debian stable has newer than 0.11.x

Oh Debian Stretch is oldstable which has Flatpak 0.8.

Install flatpak from stretch-backports.

Wow, extremely helpful, thanks @TingPing I didn't really understand the gitlab links, but the suggestion to install flatpak from stretch-backports did the trick, and I now have a shiny new Evince/Document Viewer, with thumbnails that don't disappear, etc.
