Hello. The file mimeinfo.list apparently overrides mimeinfo.cache which
seems to be recreated upon installing/upgrading packages.

Creating the following file:


[Default Applications]
application/pdf=okularApplication_pdf.desktop


as mimeinfo.list under ~/.local/share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications/ (as per user or global requirements) helped for me.

Source: https://www.ryananddebi.com/2014/09/29/linux-fixing-pdfs-
opening-in-gimp-in-firefoxzotero/ which refers to
https://wiki.debian.org/MIME

I confirm that this works for me on Kubuntu Bionic LTS with latest
updates.
