Hi Peter, hi Amy!
Sorry for the late answer, but I was in holidays and had a lot of other
stuff to do.

Indeed, that's very bad. I've fixed it.

No, I think those handlers are for other use-cases and much to complex
here.

I advised `view-file'. If you hit `v' on a pdf, ps or dvi file now,
you'll be asked if you want to use doc-view instead of view-file.
The new version is in my git-repository (see on www.tsdh.de) and I've
sent a patch to emacs-devel.
Bye,
