What I found after googling for five seconds:

   You can create /usr/share/applications/defaults.list with the following; 

   [Default Applications] 
   application/pdf=evince.desktop 

   Or append "application/pdf=evince.desktop" if defaults.list already 
   exists. 

   There is a per user defaults.list in ~/.local/share/applications as 
   well, which XFCE edits directly when you right click and change the 
   handling application. 

HTH.
