I suppose that this means that it is not enabled.

Is Preview your default PDF reader (in the OS)? If so, then that's what you
have to change. Use the finder to navigate to any PDF file and then go to
File->Get Info. This will open up an information window. There is a section
called "Open with" and ensure that you select Skim from the drop-down menu.
Once you've done that, click on "Change All...". This will make Skim the
default PDF reader and Chrome should respect that choice.
