Re: [O] pdf files with openwith only, and only this.

[John Kitchin]

I don't think org-ref is responsible, except that it installs pdf-tools. When I click on a link like 
[[./2019-07-04.pdf]] it opens in acrobat for me.

I don't have anything fancy

org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is
((auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.mm\\'" . default) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))

which I guess means on osx that it gets opened with "open".

It looks like you can do this

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setf (cdr (assoc "\\.pdf\\'" org-file-apps)) "evince %s")
#+END_SRC

to make it open in evince.

Dear Colin (cc. John),

Many thanks ! Unfortunately, I have always the same result. Here is the message:

Viewing with pdf-view-mode
pdf-info-encrypted-p: pdf-info-epdfinfo-program is not executable

is org-ref the culprit? I cc. to John Kitchin.

Best wishes,

Jo.
