This flaw is still present in Debian 10. Gimp is not a PDF reader.

GIMP set as default pdf viewer

Hello. The file mimeinfo.list apparently overrides mimeinfo.cache which
seems to be recreated upon installing/upgrading packages.
Creating the following file:
[Default Applications]
application/pdf=okularApplication_pdf.desktop
as mimeinfo.list under ~/.local/share/applications/ or
This bug is still present in Arch Linux. Since Gimp has been installed, both
Firefox and Thunderbird open PDFs with Gimp instead of Okular.
Furthermore, editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache only helped
temporarily.

This is still present with Kubuntu 14.04. This (oddly enough) appears to
have something to do with Firefox. If I open a PDF within Dolphin, it
opens with Okular like it should. If I download a PDF and click the
download button in FF to open it, it opens in Gimp.

The previous comments (and linked bugs for e.g. Firefox) seem to
disagree - this appears to be due to wrong use of the file where every
application on a system is supposed to announce what mime types they can
handle.

This is a bug with GIMP, obviously.
The solution is to avoid GIMP setting itself as a PDF viewer: GIMP is not a
viewer.
If the user wants so, then it'd be up to her to change settings.

On Ubuntu 12.04 at least, firefox honors what is present as default at
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list
If the application that is defined there is not present, then it picks
the first one from
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
which is build in random order.
In our systems we use

Still the issue with 12.04 :(
Because of this bug Zotero/Firefox opens pdf attachements in gimp. And
it does so without asking which application to use - you double click on
pdf file, and it opens in gimp (instead of shiny okular0.15 with really
embeddable annotations). The easy solution which
/usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop contains the line mime-type, which
specifies pdf filetype among others.
Please, delete it.

OTHER WORKAROUND:
From terminal (whatever it's called in Gnome):
xdg-mime default okular.desktop application/pdf
I don't have acroread install but it would probably be:
xdg-mime default acroread.desktop application/pdf
instead.

After installing the following updates in 11.10 I now also have gimp as
default pdf application.
2011-10-26 22:30:47 status installed libpam0g 1.1.3-2ubuntu2.1
2011-10-26 22:30:50 status installed libc-bin 2.13-20ubuntu5

Me too. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Gimp 2.6 GNOME.
The workaround is to right click the pdf and choose something other than
Gimp.
But, is there something we can do to reset the default to evince?
Thank you.
