I haven't installed AucTeX here so I can't tell. In any case you could
roll your own `display-buffer-function'. Unfortuantely, the doc-string
of that variable lies because neither `switch-to-buffer-other-window'
nor `find-file-other-window' currently use it ;-)
Basically, you should be able to define a variable which holds the names
of all buffers where you want the view-mode/select-window behavior like
(defvar my-display-buffer-list ...)
write a function like the completely untested
(defun my-display-buffer (buffer-or-name flag)
(let (display-buffer-function window)
(setq window (display-buffer buffer-or-name flag))
(when (memq buffer-or-name my-display-buffer-list)
(select-window window)
(view-mode 1))))
customize `display-buffer-function' to `my-display-buffer' and tell me
whether it does what you want.
