Assuming this is on the Mac:

Click on any PDF and then issue CMD-I. Then change the "Open-With"
Pulldown do whatever viewer you want but click on "Change-All"

Then in Lyx you can use "open" as the viewer.

PDF Expert is very nice and powerful but I like Skim for day-to-day by
the way.

greetings, el

Thank you Kornel- when I get to Viewer ( for pdflatex) it gives me
only 2 options- None or Custom- alongside Custom in another box it
also has " auto".  No mention of PDF Expert or in fact Adobe
Acrobat--what do I haver to do now to make lyx use PDF Expert??
Cheers,
Mark


Use custom and fill the box with the path to your favourite pdf
viewer.  You may not need the full path, if your pdf-viewer is
directly accessible.

I have moved away from Adobe Acrobat for PDFs as there are many
alternatives that are substantially cheaper and in fact in many
cases better.  However as my Adobe licence has just run out it
seems I can no longer generate PDF documents- I get the pdf in
acrobat but I can't access it as an adobe page comes up asking me
to re-licence Acrobat but I want to continue using PDFexpert
instead- How do I change the preferences with Lyx to stop it
assuming I am using Adobe Acrobat for PDFs and instead use
PDFExpert for pdf output?
Many thanks,
Mark
Select
    Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File Formats->Format
        Select there the relevant PDF output, e.g. 'PDF (pdflatex)'
        and select the Viewer to what you desire.
