I slightly modified my code for your situation of using evince. I actually use xpdf and (add-hook 'org-mode-hook '(lambda () (delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps) (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . "xpdf %s")))) works for me. I assumed just changing xpdf to evince would be sufficient. Something more subtle may be happening.

Dear John, Thanks for your reply. In fact my problem is only at the moment with pdf links in gnus, not in usual org files. (Maybe I should switch for mu4e, but I hesitate and I would be happy to find a tutorial to do it with gmail.) I have solved temporarily the problem with eimp : https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/2433/shrink-zoom-scale-images-in-image-mode and the pdf in emacs are now more easily readable for me. Best wishes, and again, to Colin and to you, many thanks. -- Jo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

My guess is the problem is with doc-view mode and possibly guns setup. I had a similar issue some years back, but cannot quite remember how I resolved it. My problem was that I had elisp I wrote which would use external viewers for various document types (e.g. word doc, pdf, etc), but when I tried to use it, Emacs would jump in the middle and use docView mode to display it inside emacs itself. From memroy, the basic fix was to turn off doc-view-mode (posibly check out the customization group). With respect to gnus (and other mailers), most of them include some sort of variable which sets which mime types can be displayed internally. If you don't want to completely disable doc-view-mode, you should be able to change this setting to say that PDFs are tro be displayed externally using whatever program is associated with that mime type. hth Tim -- Tim Cross ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
