If this is the case, go to: http://tug.org/mactex/ Download MacTeX.pkg (direct link http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/MacTeX.pkg ) Note: It is a BIG download (2.3 GB) Once Downloaded double-click the Installation package and follow the instructions (use the default options unless you are sure about something else). Once installed launch LyX. Open Tutorial (Help > Tutorial) If the Document > View other formats is still blank select Tools > Reconfigure. Once the reconfiguring is done quit and then restart LyX. Open Tutorial. Now you should be able to select Document > View [PDF (pdflatex)] and the pdf document should open in Preview. If not we continune from there. All the best! Anders
