Locate a PDF in your file manager.  Right click and select properties.  Go
to the "open with" tab, scroll to your application and highlight it.  Click
the "Set as Default" button at the bottom.

Note:  This assumes that the file manager in X-buntu behaves the same as
nautilus.

Note:  All the applications in the application menu should be listed.  If
your program is not listed, that is a different problem.
