ADE XL allows to include documentation in your designs,

Virtuoso Analog Design Environment XL User Guide ⇒ Ch. 18, Working with Documents

ADE XL uses /usr/bin/xdg-open (a desktop independent tool for starting default applications associated to file types) to open included documents (HTML files, CSV, PDF and plain text documents).

However, on Scientific Linux 6.x xdg-open is not properly configured and by default it opens everything with firefox Web browser.

$ xdg-settings --list

Known properties:
  default-web-browser           Default web browser

mkdir ~/.local && cd ~/.local
mkdir share && cd share
mkdir applications && cd applications

touch ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

As a matter of fact you need to define proper program executables with xdg-mime and configure xdg-open to open files with the right default program:

xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf
