Using the EWW browser, I can navigate around to webpages, but navigating
to a pdf fails. It appears to download an unreadable pdf. Downloading
and viewing the pdf manually in emacs (pdf-view-mode) works fine.
I've tried these solutions to no avail:
- Adding "application/pdf; emacsclient %s" to a ~/.mailcap file. This
makes the process hang indefinitely.
- Running the following elisp code:
`(add-to-list 'mailcap-user-mime-data
'((type . "application/pdf")
(viewer . pdf-view-mode)))`
This doesn't seem to have an effect.
