You can use ext-view.el

,----[ Ext-view.el ]
| ;; Load the library and try opening a file which has an associated
| ;; application in `extview-application-associations' or in mailcap.
| ;; 
| ;; `extview-application-associations' can be used to override mailcap
| ;; handlers:
| ;;
| ;;   (require 'extview)
| ;;   (push '("\\.pdf$" . "acroread %s") extview-application-associations)
| ;;   (push '("\\.py$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
| ;;   (push '("\\.html$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
