Make XChange PDF Viewer the standard PDF reader in Linux

I like the speed and functionality of the Tracker XChange PDF Viewer version 2 and use it already for a long time under Windows. Unfortunately I couldn't find an equivalent PDV viewer for Linux that has the same capabilities, especially regarding marking of text and OCR.
To make the reader available as default in OpenSUSE with Xfce i put the file "XChange PDF Viewer.desktop" with the following  content into the folder "/home/user/.local/share/applications/".
