Create an Org file with a link to an existing PDF file. For example:
[[file:~/circulant_diagonalization.pdf][file:~/circulant_diagonalization.pdf]]
(assuming the mentioned file exists at that path). In an attempt to open the
PDF in the system viewer, position point over the link and type
C-u C-u C-c C-o.
The link opens in DocView, belying the docstring, which says:
With a double prefix argument, try to open outside of Emacs, in the
application the system uses for this file type.
I reproduced with an empty Emacs init file. I use Ubuntu 16.04. The default
PDF application is Okular.
