But why is org using xpdf, if the system default is evince? What OS are you running? At least on unix/linux-y systems, you shouldn't have to customize org-file-apps: just check ~/.mailcap (and/or /etc/mailcap). IMO, changing mailcap has the advantage that *all* mailcap-enabled applications will do the right thing, whereas customizing org-file-apps just fixes org (I'm assuming of course that you always want evince, not sometimes one and sometimes the other.)
