I am writing an org-mode file with links like [[./files/article.pdf]]. If I export this to HTML, it works as expected, creating a blue underlined text hyperlink to the file. But if I export to PDF via LaTeX instead, I get a full-sized image of the first page of the PDF embedded in my document. How to get what I want instead?

    See orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-specific-attributes.html Images in LaTeX export section. You will need to give the link a name, as in [[./files/article.pdf][./files/article.pdf]].

Org will treat links without explicitly specified names as if they were images it needs to embed.

Manual mentions this in the section Images in LaTeX export. The way to side-step this, is to give a link a name, for example: [[./files/article.pdf][./files/article.pdf]].

In Linux Emacs org mode ,this can be achieved using docview links like this 

[[docview:mypdf::50][mypdf-50]]
