Thanks. I now see that documented in "3.5.1 Formats". I was looking in the wrong place and reading about the user interface (3.4). This in the Customizations documentation. Now I see my interface was already using pdflatex for: Item "View PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-view pdf2" Item "Update PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-update pdf2" (in my /usr/pkg/share/lyx/ui/stdtoolbars.inc) but just wasn't in my View or Export menus. Thanks again Jeremy C. Reed
