Configuring Org-mode to open PDFs with evince I'm starting to use `org-mode` to export text to LaTeX. My problem is that it opens the generated PDF with `ebook-viewer` (it is a EPUB, CHM reader) instead of using evince. _Question_ Does anyone know how to change this behaviour and configure `evince` to be the default viewer?

The viewer should be the same as that chosen when you use `xdg-open` or simply double click a pdf in a file manager. The default file associations are set in either `/usr/share/applications/defaults.list` (global) or one of `~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list` or `~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list`.

For example, this is what I have on my system:


$ grep -i pdf /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
application/pdf=evince.desktop;atril.desktop


Assuming you have the corresponding `.desktop` file in the right location (`/usr/share/applications/` for example), `emacs` should just find it and open with the right viewer.
