Change AUCTeX PDF Viewer

For some reason, my default pdf viewer in auctex is evince even though I don't have it installed. I tried using the menu LaTeX -> Customize AUCTeX -> Expand menu but it says that it's undefined. I know I have to edit the "TeX-output-view-style" but I don't have that option in emacs. How do I go about adding it/is there any other way I can change my default pdf viewer?

Hello vatai.
Welcome to Arch Linux
Be careful of really old threads.  I've a hunch that three years on, this may not be an issue.
Closing because things change so fast, and if anyone has a similar problem now, ancient solutions probably will just confuse things.

  • Changing default PDF viewer

    I need to change the default PDF viewer on a large number of computers
    from Acrobat Professional to Reader. When I say "change the default," I
    don't just mean the file association; I mean every default, including
    browser plug-ins.
    When you install Acrobat or Reader on a computer on which the other has
    already been installed, you get a prompt as to whether you want Acrobat
    or Reader to be the default PDF viewer. I want to get at that
    functionality, preferably by script. So far as I have been able to
    discover, the ONLY way to get at that function is by uninstalling one of
    the programs and reinstalling it.
    Is there a deployable way to do this? I prefer scripting methods, but
    manual remote changes are good too.

    I have no choice. This is what I've got to work with. And our Acrobat
    software is controlled by a KeyServer, which is why I need Reader to be
    the default (so as not to use up licenses for mere viewing of PDFs).
    In any case, the two programs do know how to set a default between
    themselves when you install the second one, so that functionality must
    exist somewhere, supported or not.

  • Change default PDF viewer in Firefox

    Hi,
    I use Firefox a lot for viewing the web and when I click on a PDF file I get the option of either saving it to my computer or opening it in Preview. However, I'd like to be able to open the PDF directly in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a way I can set what application should be used to open my PDF files from Firefox? And if so, how do I do it? Thanks so much.

    Georege Orville,
    These look like the instructions to change the default viewer in the Finder. I don't have a problem doing this, my only problem is that when I click on a PDf file in Firefox it always opens with Preview instead of Adobe. When I right click on a PDF link in Firefox I'm allowed to open the link in a new tab and then a pop up box comes up allowing me to either "open with <application>" or "Save to Disk". But the only application I'm allowed to use is Preview, which is what I want to change. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much.

  • IPhone 3G S - Change Default PDF Viewer?

    Have an iPhone 3GS. Bought Goodreader because I need a PDF viewer that has reflow ability. I also use dropbox to easily link to my important files. However, whenever I open a PDF file, it launches the default iPhone PDF viewer, which does not have reflow. There are ways to get my files into goodreader, but they are cumbersome. In any event, I really just want my default PDF viewer to be goodreader so every time I open any PDF file whether it be from an email, dropbox or whatever, it used goodreader. Is this possible? Thanks.

    Thanks. I tried the g thing and that is a nice time saver. I know about dropboxes' web app to grab files. In fact, I'll use that with your g thing tip. Just trying to save the steps it takes to get it into goodreader from the dropbox web app. Being able to directly load from the dropbox iphone app would be better, but your g thing is quite a bit better than the next best alternative that currently exists. I still wish there was a way to make goodreader the default pdf viewer.. Thanks.

  • How do I change the default PDF viewer on my iPad so I can easily see annotations?

    I keeping missing annotations on PDF because the built-in iPad Mail viewer does not show annotations.  To limit the keystrokes, instead of  using "open with" on each PDF email attachment to view in a third part app, I'd like to just change the mail default viewer. Is that possible with the current iPad operating systems?

    No it is not possible to change the default pdf viewer in mail.

  • How do I change my default pdf viewer back to preview?

    When I installed Adobe CS onto my computer I set the default pdf viewer to be Adobe Acrobat. Id like to change it back to using preview since it opens much quicker but I cant seem to find where to change the setting. Can someone help?

    Via the Finder select a PDF document and use Get Info for the file.
    At Open With, select the Preview application via the pop-up window.
    Select Change All below "Use this application to open all documents like this".

    Sorted out the problem myself - secret is you have to go to Full Screen view to be able to scroll down. Easy as that - but not so apparent if you are new to this.

  • How do I change my default PDF viewer in Safari?

    I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader. Ever since, when I have opened PDF files on the internet, they have opened in Acrobat. How on earth do I switch the default back to Preview, or the regular Safari pdf viewer? I don't want to view my internet PDF's in acrobat because it takes forever to load them and it is extremely cumbersom for my purposes.

    To remove Acrobat as your PDF reader, go to your User Library>Internet Plug-in Folder. There you'll see the Acrobat plug-in. Click on it, then "command key + delete" will move it to the trash. Note: If your Plug-ins are used for more than one user account, you'll find them in the same folder I mentioned, however, they will be in the Main Library.
    While Preview is an option for PDF viewing, I prefer PDF Browser Plugin. It's free for personal use. Quick and easy to use, I think you'll like it.

  • Changing iPad default PDF viewer to Goodreader

    How do you change iPad default viewer, to something like Goodreader?

    As far as I know, you can't. You have to tell it to "open in Goodreader" every time. If someone else knows differently, please let me know. Thanks.

  • How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

    For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
    Thank you for your help.

    You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

  • How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

    Hi
    I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
    Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
    Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sen Lee

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Starting PDF Viewer with file

    Hi, I want use the PDF Viewer (CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER) to display a pdf file without having to open it manually.
    The demo program SAP_PDF_VIEWER_DEMO works well. It opens the PDF Viewer in place, you can zoom and print the file. And you can disable buttons (we don't want the files to be saved and we don't want the user to display different files).
    The problem is you have to select the file manually. If I user 'open_document' at the end of PBO to transmit the file while starting the program, the command is being ignored.
    My question: Does anyone has a tip for me?
    Thanks in advance yours Johannes

    Hi
    If you look with se24 in the class cl_gui_pdf_viewer and you look for method constructor. You will see this code:
    method CONSTRUCTOR.
      data: clsid(80) type c.
    --- if it is Win32 ... ---
      if activex = 'X'.
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.1'.
    - if it is PlatinGUI ...-
      elseif javabean = 'X'.
        exit.
    --- if it WebGUI ---
      elseif www_active = 'X'.
        exit.
    --- unknown GUI type
      else.
        exit.
      endif.
    --- call the super-constructor ---
      call method super->constructor
        exporting
          clsid             = clsid
          shellstyle        = shellstyle
          parent            = parent
    Put your self a break point and change the value of
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.1'.
    to
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.5'.
    if your are lucky it will work afterwards.
    perhaps you also can try
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.6'.
    but I am not sure if this will help you. With 5 it was working on my PC this activeX control was existing. If version 6 ever existed, I dont know.
    If the debugging works then make a copy and change it for real.
    Regards
