I am on a Ubuntu box. When I link to a pdf file on my computer, it opens in
Xpdf. I would like pdf files to open in Document Viewer. How can I change
the default viewer for pdf links from Xpdf to Document Viewer?
I have read the Org-Mode manual and googled for an answer but the answer
remains elusive - that, or I cannot read very well.
Thank you.
Shawn

Org uses system defaults for following hyperlinks. Thus, you should be
able to change the default by adding the following line to your
~/.mailcap file:
application/pdf; /usr/bin/evince %s
If you'd prefer not to tinker with system-wide settings, you can specify
evince just for org links by customizing the variable org-file-apps.
Simply type M-x customize-variable [RET] org-file-apps [RET]
Best,
Matt
