For me, it was related to apostrophes in folder names, and I got errors with OOo 1.1.4 and with OOo 2.0 beta (M120-130). To reproduce: 0. Create a .pdf file. Give it an arbitrary name. 1. Move the target file to a test directory. Ensure that the folder name contains an apostrophe. Example: /home/user/Documents/test'ing/arbitrary.pdf 2. Open OOo and create a new writer doc. 3. Insert - Hyperlink. 4. On the left side, click Document. 5. Provide the path to your chosen document in the test'ing folder, or click the button and search for it. 6. All other fields are irrelevant. Click Apply then Close. 7. Click on your hyperlink. You should receive the following error message: No corresponding external application could be found for the given file type. Please check the OpenOffice.org settings. The message may be different in OOo 2.0 beta or RC1. The apostrophe thing would explain why I (and possibly others) may have been experiencing the problem but the developers could not reproduce it. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I'm using it on SimplyMEPIS, and I get the same error message when clicking on hyperlinks to .pdf documents. As to changing preferences, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the OOo preferences to tell it to launch Acrobat Reader, or gv, or any other program. The only thing I've found is Tools - Options - OOo - External Programs - File Manager, but submitting a link to any known Linux file manager doesn't change anything. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
