Thanks, I was thinking of opening nautilus at the current directory as
visited in the terminal window, not opening it at the $HOME directory.

How to teach Nautilus about that? Saving the file it becomes a pdf-file
as all other .pdfs? An example is application/acrobat (file.pdf)
I have not found of anything about attachments in Nautilus.

I don't see any guesses made by Evo, The only option given is to save to

application/stream attachment (file.pdf)
