Click: Edit -> Preferences -> Applications
Find the line in the first column (Content Type) for "PDF file" and
select your desired program. I had to select "Use other" and
navigate to my preference, acroread; you should choose your preferred
application.
It opens them just fine with the default pdf viewer (pdfview?). The
problem is that it now embeds them in a browser window rather than
opening them externally. I can't find the binary name of the program (or
the program configuration) that is doing this in order to change the
behavior.
If I can't find it I'll take your advice and just use another program
that I *can* find and change to have the behavior I want. But I've
never had a problem with the default, so I see no reason to change it
unless I have to.
Thanks for the response.
