Thanks for that answer Frank, Trey, and all the others that 
took their time to reply.

I edited the local /root/.mc/bindings file
(which is exactly the same as the /etc/mc/mc.ext file), 
closed all instances of mc, restarted it and this works 
fine now:

# PDF
type/^PDF
    Open=(kpdf %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &)
    #Open=(evince %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &)

Thanks again to all that replied.

I prefer KPDF over evince as my PDF viewer.
