Re: Newbie question: which pdf reader to use with Windows 8.1?

[Benedict Holland]

Be very careful when viewing Beamer presentations with anything other than
Adobe. I have found that the presentations never display correctly and when
giving a presentation, it is almost a guarantee that you will be presenting
on Adobe. If you are not using Beamer, anything else should work. I stick
with Adobe because it is the standard. If potential problems occur, I might
have to switch but for now, it seems better for me to deal with the issues
than switch.

Actually, also, regarding the corruption. That should also be posted on the
Lyx forum as a case study to determine why Adobe treats it as corrupted.
There is an ISO standard for Adobe PDF files. it is possible that Adobe is
much less flexible about their standard than other browsers. It is also
possible that there is a bug with lyx if this occurs. BTW, I have no
affiliation with Adobe at all but everyone uses it and if I don't use it, I
can easily run into problems where it will view in one browser but not in
others. I can't afford that issue.

It is not sure - at least STF did say so - the PDF file Adobe Acrobat Reader 
didn't display was produced by LyX.
And in case it came from LyX then it's a problem with the LaTeX-PDF-writer 
tools used by LyX.

So, probably it will be difficult to solve this issue for LyX developers.
