Re: [Orgmode] How to open pdf file links with evince under linux?..
well, my values are org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'. Its value is ((auto-mode . emacs) (\\.x?html?\\' . default)) which does not help very much since i think is scary to change the auto-mode in emacs I have the same annoying problem reported by Jan 2010/3/23 Jan Böcker jan.boec...@jboecker.de On 23.03.2010 10:17, Leo Alekseyev wrote: When using org mode under windows, links to local PDF files bring up Acrobat.

As far as I know, Org uses the system defaults when it does not know how to open a file, and when the system does not know, Org opens the file in emacs. Under linux, that system default is the mailcap database, but I have no idea how to configure that. (It doesn't even appear to exist on my system.) But we can tell Org directly what to do with PDF files: take a look at the variable org-file-apps (M-x customize-variable org-file-apps). Each entry in this list consists of (selector, action) pairs where the action tells Org how to open a file, and the selector (in most cases a regular expression matched against the file name) specifies what kind of files to open in this way. Add the following entry: Extension: \.pdf\' Command:evince %s Links to PDF files should now open in evince. If you pull the current git version of Org, you could add a second entry: Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\' Command:evince %s -p %1 This would allow you to link to a specific page of a PDF like this: [[file:/path/to/document.pdf::21]] (Shameless plug for a patch of mine that just got accepted.)
