Is org-pdftools supposed to be a replacement for org-pdfview? about org-pdftools HOT 6 CLOSED

Ok, it does work with the minimum link being: pdftools://:: .
Now I see your point and I have been fooled by some instruction from the pdfview package, which said:

;; If you want, you can also configure the org-mode default open PDF file function.
;; (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . (lambda (file link) (org-pdfview-open link))))

And I replaced pdfview by pdftools whithout further thinking.
This is what is not expected to work.
Thanks,

org-pdftools is supposed to be used with pdftools, not other system pdf viewers.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am using pdftools as my pdf viewer.
(And I don't understand why you inferred that it might not be the case ?)

For opening "pdftools:" links, is that working fine?
For (org-open-file "some.pdf"), I suppose pdf-tools itself can handle that? What's the use of org-pdfview here? If you are talking about org-file-apps, you can set it to ("pdf" . emacs) to let pdf-tools handle it.

Hmm, so how should one adjust a config like

;; If you want, you can also configure the org-mode default open PDF file function.
;; (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . (lambda (file link) (org-pdfview-open link))))

so that it works with org-pdftools?

I know it's been a long time, but me as a newbie I was wondering the same thing. To achieve '(org-file-apps '(("\\.pdf\\'" . emacs))) it is enough to use customize-variable org-file-apps and select 'Visit with Emacs'. This indeed let's org-pdftools handle everything automatically.
