I recently switched to apvlv as my default pdf viewer. When I try to set it as my default pdf program in xdg-open (for chromium), with the command:
xdg-mime default apvlv.desktop application/pdf
xdg-open does it's favorite default behavior, which is to try to open the file in firefox. Any idea how I can fix this?

Have you tried to create a ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list which contains the following?
[Default Applications]
application/pdf=apvlv.desktop
This works without any problems on my system. If still no luck, try to install perl-file-mimeinfo.

Same problem. After installing perl-file-mimeinfo, the file now opens in gimp, rather than firefox.
