Hello!
I have good tools to display PDF files. In GNU Emacs (23.0.60) I
would like to see the PDF code – how can I tell Doc View to never
convert PDF files (except when I invoke doc-view)? By changing lisp/
doc-view.el?

Greetings

Remove the entry
("\\.\\(?:PDF\\|DVI\\|pdf\\|dvi\\)\\'" . doc-view-mode)
from `auto-mode-alist' (or add one for fundamental mode).
(setq auto-mode-alist
(delete '("\\.\\(?:PDF\\|DVI\\|pdf\\|dvi\\)\\'" . doc-view-mode)
auto-mode-alist))

Are you kidding?
Bye, Reiner.

No, I mean it! The user interface is poor. I have to be fast enough
to stop conversion. And when I succeeded I have no chance to view the
PDF file's contents. When I wait until PDF has been converted to PNG
and type C-c C-c to switch to the PDF code, I see only open boxes and
control characters. Without doc-view.el, in GNU Emacs 22.3, I can
clearly see the PDF file's contents ...
The other option is to change GNU Emacs files to not load doc-view-el
into the programme ...

I can't see such a problem with the Gnus manual (gnus.pdf, 450 pages).

I can't see a difference between Emacs CVS and Emacs 22 here.
I'd suggest to report the problems as a bug including a test case.
Bye, Reiner.

It looks as if this behaviour could be part of my customisation of
GNU Emacs 23.0.60! The more it will rain the faster I'll find the cause.
