A simple request, I hope.

How do I set Krita to be my default application for opening .pdf files?

hi Finston
well based on Zorin 12 Ultimate the feature is present to set a default for opening PDF. sorry but have not tested Krita as yet.
from the pdf select with mouse 'open with' and 'select other application' to see screenshot below

Any particular reason why you prefer Krita to Document Viewer?

I could not find how to print from document viewer - I could print easily from Krita.

Although I can manually select Krita, I dont seem to be able to set it as default.

What I get is:

In Document Viewer, select the Document to Open then click on the three bars on the top right:

To change default application that opens your pdf etc, right click the document, select properties then go to 'open with' tab, make your selection then click on 'Set as Default' [https://www.howtogeek.com/117709/how-to-change-your-default-applications-on-ubuntu-4-ways/]

No need to apologise - we are all on the learning curve.

Just by way of a postscript.

I've decided Document Viewer is OK and presents well - especiall now I know how to print from it!

Document Viewer restored to default - case closed.
