Setting the PDF viewer ---------------------- If the environment variable DSV_VIEWER is set, dsv will launch the program specified there. If DSV_VIEWER is not set but DSV_PDFVIEWER is set, dsv will launch the program specified in DSV_PDFVIEWER. If neither DSV_VIEWER nor DSV_PDFVIEWER are set, dsv will run xdg-open to launch the viewer. xdg-open typically defaults to the "evince" viewer. The default can be changed from the command line with xdg-mime default APPLICATION application/pdf where APPLICATION is one of the *.desktop files typically found in /usr/share/applications/ or /usr/local/share/applications/ For example, to make xpdf the default xdg-open (and hence many other applications) uses, one would run xdg-mime default xpdf.desktop application/pdf
