Yes, Sorry. should have been clearer. I go into webmail of my Internet
Service Provider and the .pdf created by LyX has the WARNING [below]
message before opening.

I created the .pdf and sent it to my account on my Internet Service
Provider.

There is a option to "Open Anyway" This is selected and the .pdf is
opened and is as it should be. Looks good.

Okay, I will remove the graphic, sorry. Done.
I also sent the .pdf as created by the LyX converter on my Debian
stretch system [as above] because on your system it also might be seen
as a sample.bin rather than a sample.pdf?
Both Okular and Evince open the document as a .pdf and don't question
it.
Look; it's really just a thing that I thought was a bit weird and
imagined that someone else had this problem with a .pdf constructed by
a LyX converter?
Thanks for your time, but obviously it's nothing.
