You can do it in two steps as follows (works for any program);
Right click on a PDF and go to Open With > Choose another app (even if you see Acrobat listed).
Select the program from the list and be SURE to select "Always use this app..." before you click OK,
Done.
Once in a while, you may have to search for more apps if your desired program is not listed--just be sure to click the always use checkbox.
