Evince as a default viewer
 

Hi,

I made a mistake by installing Adobe Reader on my box. I am a big fan of Evince, the "Document viewer", but I wanted to try this new reader from Adobe.
After removing it, my PDF files are not recognized as PDF files any more and each time I double click on one of them I am presented with the "Open With" menu!

What should I do to get things back as they were before doing this "Big" mistake?

Try removing, and reinstalling Evince.
Whenever I try out something new like this, afterwards, I re-run the dpkg-reconfigure script to set Evince as my default PDF & document viewer.

I'm not sure, but I don't think Fedora has a synonymous function.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I followed your advice and nothing happened, the problem is still the same.
By the way, I use Fedora 7, and KDE is my GUI.

I could do it from the file manager settings (konqueror), I can double click and open them now, but now the files appear as iconless (no icons to represent them)

OK I could solve the problem.

Choose the icon for the .pdf (.PDF) files from the propert menu and that's it.

If you're running KDE, why not install and run Kpdf? It has really nice Konqueror integration.
