Hi How do you open a PDF with Evince when it is not in the right cilck
menu? I can not get it to open with the open with dialog box.
Thanks

In GNOME, right-click and select 'Open With->Document Viewer' (that's
the menu name for Evince).  If  "Document Viewer" is not an option,
try right-clicking and 'Open With->Other Application', then scroll
down and click on  'Document Viewer'.

Alternately, start Evince first and select 'File->Open" and browse to the file.

Regards,
Chris

Arthur:
Here the open-with menu has an entry "Document Viewer", and that calls up 
Evince. (I'm using KDE, but I think it's the same in Gnome.)

In KDE, you can simply type the name of the program (in this case, evince) 
right into the bar at the top, and it'll work.  I don't really understand why 
GNOME doesn't have something similar for the command-line people who are used 
to thinking in low-level commands (I almost always use the command-line 
command name instead of the menu name if I'm searching for something).
