You should be able to do this by analyzing the XML data in the
"com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" file, located in the
"Users/Username/Library/Preferences/" folder.
For more information about what to look for specifically in this file,
you may also want to read the discussion posting, which contains
information about manually changing the default PDF viewing
application...
