 When I try to get a preview, all I get is the opening screen for 
 Acrobat Reader DC, no preview. If I click on a PDF file on the pc, it
works fine!

This should now be fixed. To test replace the file pdfview.exe on your
system with this one:

I read that you now use SumatraPDF to view PDFs. This is a nice program but
unfortunately it cannot display PDF annotations correctly and also not PDF
forms.

Re: Using German and CJK

[Matthias Hunstig]

Hello Kai,

I am not familiar with cjk. But are you aware that you can change the
language for parts of your document? Just select, right-click,
Language. With English parts in a German document, this works fine,
including hyphenation. I have not tested other scenarios.

Regards

Matthias

LyX does not accept diffrent classes of documents

[Eugenio Raliuga]

Dear Sires
I use Lyx since 2009, and the next problem is new to me:

If I open a new document the class of document is KOMA- script book and
LyX does not accept to chsnge to any other class of document, say article
or KOMA-script article. The buttons OK and Apply turn on inactive.

I have installed the files with the default document classes in LyX
I started LyX from a terminal, via lyx -dbg all
I reinstalled LyX with Synaptic (My OS is Ubuntu 15.04)

The problem remains.

Maybe is something plain, I don't know.

Anyone could give me a hint or better a way to solve this problem?

Tank you for your attention.

ulem.sty

[Gordon Cooper]

Greetings to all,

The ulem.sty  filename  appears several times in the lyx-users archive
with most  requests reporting that the file was absent.  It happened to
 me today when a conversion to pdf stalled because ulem was missing.

All the dependency files were present and the problem difficult to find,
so I eventually re-installed everything that might be related. That 
fixed it.


I would be grateful if someone could advise just which package contains
ulem.sty so that if it happens again there'll be a quicker repair.

Thanks,
Gordon.
