Try starting the emacs server (M-x server-start or put (server-start) in
your .emacs) and confige AUCtex for using `emacsclient -n' instead of
`xdg-open'. The later can be achieved putting this on your .emacs:

(setq TeX-output-view-style
      (cons (list "^pdf$" "." "emacsclient -n %o")
            TeX-output-view-style))
