Doing this on Linux will require searching (evince and xpdf are other
likely candidates, and more generic things like `gnome-open') -- it's
going to take some time for xdg-open to be popular enough.  (And
before you argue: "popular" = installed by default on practically all
distros, old ones that don't have it are a negligible minority.  Both
are currently wrong.)

Windows should be easy -- just openning it will let the shell do
whatever needs to be done.
