I installed LyX on a Mac running OS 10.4, and if I go to View > PDF (pdflatex), I see my document in pdf form with Adobe Reader just fine. However, I just installed LyX on another Mac (also with 10.4) and the default pdf viewer is Preview, which I hate. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to globally change from Preview to Reader; I can do it for a specific document, but any new files are again viewed with Preview. What Preference (in either LyX or the Mac) is it that I'm missing?
Select any .pdf file in the Finder. Select File > Get Info. Under the "Open With:" heading, select the .pdf viewer you want (i.e., Adobe Reader), and click on the "Change all..." button. Since LyX will just hand off the request to open the .pdf document to OS X, OS X will now open it with Adobe Reader.
