If you want C-c C-o to open in emacs, you can configure your 
org-file-apps:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (eval-after-load "org"
   '(if (assoc "\\.pdf\\'" org-file-apps)
        (setcdr (assoc "\\.pdf\\'" org-file-apps) 'emacs)
      (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . 'emacs) t)))
#+END_SRC

Alternatively, if you are on Linux, you could make your 
emacsclient your default pdf-viewer:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
 xdg-mime default emacsclient.desktop application/pdf
#+END_SRC

Then the external program called by C-c C-o would also be emacs =)
