The Emacs-side entry point seems to be doc-view-mode-maybe, which is hooked in
auto-mode-alist for a number of file name extensions.
As described in https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DocViewMode it relies on
external utilities to provide the actual image.
I was unable to quickly repro in a fresh Debian or Ubuntu image, but that might
be because I didn't have the external utility installed.
Tangentially, googling for doc-view-mode-maybe suggests that lots of people are
annoyed by it and want to turn it off, probably often for related but distinct
reasons.

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
