[STICKY] Zorin 9 : set Adobe Reader as default pdf viewer

I knew about the "Open with" in the Properties tab.

But what if the application (here, Adobe Acrobat) isn't there?

Here what solved my problem (in Gnome):

Open the file /etc/gnome/defaults.list (admin mode) as root:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list


Change the line:
Code:
application/pdf=evince.desktop


to:
Code:
application/pdf=acroread.desktop
