[Paraview] [EXT] Re: Help files (.pdf) not opening v5.4.1

[Dennis Conklin]

All,

Okay, we are at RedHat 7.3 and I had to change the Application Preference Order in system settings to get Okular to launch.   We will add this to our workstation image so everyone gets it.

Thanks for the clue!
Dennis

We simply use QDesktopServices [1] to open the PDF. I think it uses the window manager to determine which app to use.
