Eric,

I use a separate mailcap for Mutt. In this mailcap, I have the
following line for pdf:

application/pdf; /usr/bin/pdftohtml -q -stdout '%s' | links -dump
-stdin;  copiousoutput

Also, in my .muttrc, I have the following line:

set implicit_autoview = yes

I you want to implement this, you need to install the application
pdftohtml and the browser links.
