Hi. I am having a couple of problems with doc-view in 24.1. In 23.x,
when I find a .pdf, doc-view was automatically active, now I have to
type doc-view-mode to get it. Any hook I can use to do this
automatically?
However, the worst problem is that I often get the following message
when trying to use doc-view-mode:
DocView: process pdf->txt changed status to killed.
Sometimes, I can get things to work by restarting, but usually it does
not.
Any help would be appreciated.

It should be active for PDF files by default. With emacs 24.1, doing
$ emacs -Q some/doc.pdf
opens the pdf with doc-view.

Does
$ pdftotext -raw doc.pdf doc.txt
on the command line work, or does it crash?
Bye,

I am within emacs and use c-x c-f rather than starting from scratch.

Testing whether it works with 'emacs -Q some/doc.pdf' lets you and
everyone else know whether or not it's something in your configuration
that is making it fail, see the info node on emacs invocation.

Test failed with similar results with the -q option.
