I wish to create a link to the default 'Document Viewer' on my desktop so that I can have a quick link to access my .pdf files.


I've been following this guide:

But after typing


ls | less


in the terminal and scrolling through the list of programs, I can't for the life of me figure out which one refers to the 'Document Viewer' that shows up under both 'Office' and 'Graphics' in the menu.


Could any of you enlighten me? :)

For future reference: if you cannot figure out the name of some program, just run it, go to a terminal, and use top or ps to see what is running. That should give you at least the name of the executable. I guess you could also check the XFCE menu configuration itself, but I don't know by heart where it is stored.
 
Code:
cd /usr/share/applications/


grep "Document Viewer" *

evince.desktop:Name=Document Viewer


evince.desktop:Name[en_CA]=Document Viewer


evince.desktop:Name[en_GB]=Document Viewer


evince.desktop:GenericName=Document Viewer


evince.desktop:GenericName[en_CA]=Document Viewer


evince.desktop:GenericName[en_GB]=Document Viewer


So I bet you're looking for evince.desktop ;)
