Is there any utility or command on Ubuntu for checking spelling errors in a pdf file? Or a way to integrate spellcheck in Evince?

You can use LibreOffice to import and edit PDF files. Note, however, LibreOffice PDF import support is still prone to errors, due to the complexity of the PDF format.

You may also try using Inkscape to edit your PDF document, which may have better results with some files, provided that the required fonts are installed. Make sure that spell checking is enabled in Edit > Preferences:

Then, go to Text > Spellcheck to open the spell checking dialog
