PDF Tools (`pdf-view-mode') is no external program but a major mode for viewing PDFs in Emacs similar (but much more advanced) than `doc-view-mode'. I've just added support for that in Gnus with this commit: http://git.gnus.org/cgit/gnus.git/commit/?id=d2464e8d95ef0805ecbd7baded7467efd5d981a1 Bye, Tassilo
