"text/plain" is obviously not correct, it should be something with
'pdf' in it I guess.

Could you see what

ev_file_get_mime_type("file:///tmp/DenemoYBsSdY/denemoprintB.pdf", 0, NULL)

gives back as well?

Evince code for mime type detection is in libdocument/ev-file-helpers.c.
I'm afraid it is a bit unpredictable when glib fails to find the
correct mime-type/content-type.
