I have always used MC as my commandline filemanager and really like it. However, since Fedora 21, when opening a PDF file it always shows an error that it cannot open "/usr/bin/dolphin" which is understandable, because by default gnome uses a different file manager (Nautilus I think).
I haven't used MC for ages, but can you try simply changing the preferences for what MC uses to open PDF files? MC may have defaulted for using a KDE client, instead of something else.
Some things palm off opening files to some other file handler, such as gnome-open, or xdg-open (the latter is less biased towards a particular desktop), which check the file to see what it is, then open it with an appropriate default program. If MC does that, it may be that you need to configure /that/ handler instead of MC.
Or, maybe the solution is to reconfigure MC to use that handler to deal with PDF files.
Usually, with something more graphical than MC, you can right click on a particular file, then choose what it's opened with, and also have some option for changing the default application for what will open the same type of file. I don't know if MC works that way now, nor whether simply right clicking on some PDF file through your desktop, instead of MC, will let you set default preferences that will apply to MC, as well.
Somewhere in there, one of those suggestions ought to do the trick, but write back to the list if you're still stuck.
