In Epiphany it is under Edit/Preferences under the General tab. After
downloading and installing it I see the default download location is to
the Desktop. Any PDF you have downloaded is now on your desktop. Right
click on the file and choose Properties. Find the Open tab and then
specify the program you want to use to open PDF files with. That should
do it.
