xdg-open opens a file or URL in the user's preferred application
explicitly mentioning a file or a url and then it says
If a file is provided the file will be opened in the preferred
application for files of that type. These words would indicate that it

going to open a file by doing something to the file, not by doing the
extraneous act of starting a web browser.
do you have something like:
application/pdf;xpdf '%s'; prioryty=1; test=test -n
$DISPLAY
in ~/.mailcap or /etc/mailcap?
No I did not.
If not, can you add it to ~/.mailcap and check
xdg-open again?
You can also add to ~/.mime.types:
I have no such file
create it then
application/pdf pdf
(didn't try adding any .mime.types file. Are you sure it isn't xpdf at
the end?)
yes, I'm sure (it will let xdg-open know that *.pdf files have
application/pdf mime type and later it will choose the right app from
~/.mailcap)
if /etc/mime.types doesn't have it.
No such file in /etc, either.
so that's why xdg-open tries to open this file in a browser
The man page says it has something to do
with cups.
nothing to do with CUPS, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailcap
No help from adding the line to .mailcap.
echo 'application/pdf pdf' ~/.mime.types
