What you say for the most part does work for me, but I am using evolution for my email and when I click on a file that has a pdf the only options I'm given when I click on the drop down arrow is save as or open in document viewer. I need a way to change document viewer from showing up in the drop down box and instead show acroreader. Thank you.
