Perhaps you need to log out & then back in - or restart Evolution? I
show the following 'Open in' options in the dropdown for a PDF in
Evolution 2.22.3.1 on my 8.04.1 Hardy system:

Adobe Reader 8
Document Viewer
pdfedit
GIMP Image Editor
KGhostView
xPDF
KPDF

Note: I have kubuntu programs installed in addition to my Gnome
programs, hence the KPDF etc.
