Hello Jeff,
Try associating file with extension .PDF with another application, by clicking Associate a file type or protocol with a program, instead of trying the Set your default programs.
There you’ll be able to browse for the application you want to use.

I hope this help. Let me know how it works.

Thanks,

AND
I can not deselect “Reader” from being the default PDF application. I.E. can no interact with the check boxes.
