For some reason I cannot view PDF files in doc-view-mode
.
Supposedly if I open a PDF file in Emacs, it should automatically open in the doc-view
major mode. If it can't be opened in doc-view
, then there will at least be some error message.
But for me, opening a PDF file opens it in fundamental mode. If I use M-x doc-view-mode
then the mode-line shows (fundamental docview)
which indicates that the docview
minor mode is used, as I understand it.
That minor mode claims I can use C-c C-c
to view the document, but that does nothing, and leaves me in the "editor mode." I've checked the *Messages*
buffer, and there are no error messages. Here is a screenshot:
Here's what I'm working with:
- Emacs 27.1
- macOS 11.2.3 (Big Sur)
- auctex 13.0.4
- latex-preview-pane-20181008.1822
The only discussion I've managed to find about this is specifically for Windows, such as here.
