Thanks, I have followed this instruction and I am able to open a PDF using the
newly created AppleScript app (which opens Okular). But I am unable to change
the default app for opening PDFs to this AppleScript app. The following error
message is produced: 

You can’t change the item “xxx.pdf” to always open in the selected application.
The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don’t have permission
to modify (error code 13).

After having read some forums, it seemed the location of the AppleScript app
could be the culprit (saved by default in iCloud folder). I then copied the app
to my regular Applications folder, deleted the original, tried again and I
still get the aforementioned error message.
