Subject: Re: Configuring external viewer for document types in Dired

Perhaps, you can use
(require 'dired-x)

And set dired-guess-shell-alist-user. This is mine:

(setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user '(("\\.pdf$" "xpdf * &")
				     ("\\.py$"  "python")
				     ("\\.rar$" "unrar x")
				     ("\\.html?$" "iceweasel")
				     ("\\.rmvb$" "mplayer -framedrop -zoom -really-quiet")))
