I don't think org-ref is responsible, except that it installs pdf-tools.
When I click on a link like
[[./2019-07-04.pdf]] it opens in acrobat for me.

I don't have anything fancy
org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is
((auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.mm\\'" . default) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))

which I guess means on osx that it gets opened with "open".

It looks like you can do this

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setf (cdr (assoc "\\.pdf\\'" org-file-apps)) "evince %s")
#+END_SRC

to make it open in evince.
