You can right-click on a .pdf file, then go to 'Properties' --> 'Open with' tab and select the application that you want.

right click on a pdf file, click on "Properties", go to "Open With" tab and select the program you want. You can change the default program for any kind of file using this method. Here is a similar question: How can I change the default program for viewing pictures and photos?
