Somehow I am missing the point. How is this supposed to work from
within something like emacs-w3m when I have only a tty?
Currently, to the best of my knowledge, emacs-w3m doesn't know what
to do with pdf files when emacs 23 is running in a tty. I still
don't see why doc-view should not handle this, even if it gives only
a minimalistic set of features. Of course, one could incorporate
such a feature also into emacs-w3m itself. But that appears to be
the wrong place to me. (The next package dealing with pdf files
similar to emacs-w3m would have to reinvent the wheel.)
