But why is org using xpdf, if the system default is evince?
What OS are you running? At least on unix/linux-y systems, you shouldn't
have to customize org-file-apps: just check ~/.mailcap (and/or
/etc/mailcap).
IMO, changing mailcap has the advantage that *all* mailcap-enabled
applications will do the right thing, whereas customizing org-file-apps
just fixes org (I'm assuming of course that you always want evince, not
sometimes one and sometimes the other.)
