If I have a file:./paper.pdf link in an Org document, the PDF opens
using GV when I click on the link. I like GV, but it doesn't support
links. How do I change the PDF viewer for file:./paper.pdf external
links?

The variable to set is `org-file-apps'.
Here's what I have currently:

(setq org-file-apps '((auto-mode . emacs)
		      ("\\.x?html?\\'" . "firefox %s")
		      ("\\.pdf\\'" . "evince \"%s\"")
                      ("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" . "evince \"%s\" -p %1")
                      ("\\.pdf.xoj" . "xournal %s")))

Just change evince to your favorite viewer.
And make sure that you're calling `org-return' to open (it's bound to C-m).

This is exactly what I need and it has the added benefit of showing me
how to open XOJ files in Xournal via an external link in an Org
file. Many thanks.
