Instead of choosing our own default PDF viewer, we should probably
invoke the user's default PDF viewer. Every OS has a command-line
program to open a file with the system default program:
On OS X:
open myfile.pdf
On Windows:
start myfile.pdf
On Linux, there separate programmes for KDE, new gnome and old gnome,
and desktop-agnostic:
kde-open myfile.pdf || gvfs-open myfile.pdf || gnome-open myfile.pdf
|| xdg-open myfile.pdf
Cheers,
Sietse
