    Is thee a way to add existing pdf file to creator project and view it as pdf not as binary ?
    Is this possible with odt-files (OpenOffice, LibreOffice) ?

      hi
      I wanted that too for design docs etc but never found a way to open with external program
      by just double clicking.

      So I instead I right click and "Show in Explorer" and then click it.
      You can also choose Open With -> System editor.

      Not what I wanted but better than not having access from project.

          Yes it open a window where file is.
          So I keep the files in a Doc folder which I have included and
          can get to it fast that way.

          In linux is something like "File Manager"

          Also, right click and Open With -> System editor open the program directly but i find it a bit of a hassle to open sub menu when I open more than one doc :)

          ps. I tried all combination of ctrl/shift/alt while clicking but no luck.

            Not a solution but more info on the issue:
            If you go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> MIME Types you can see the list of registered MIME types (including Application/pdf) and handlers associated with them. What is missing is the ability to change the default specified there. This is mentioned in e.g. QTCREATORBUG-13880, but it seems the issue has no momentum, so you might leave a comment there or give a shout to the mailing list to bring some attention to it.

              Oh that is very good info.
              I tried to use my forum login but it seems
              Qt Bug Tracker uses it own system ?
