PDF output
Dear friends, Thanks to the advice I got (see below), I am now able to access PDF output from LyX. Thanks a lot! Shailesh Shirali Dear Sirs, When I do "View>PDF" I get the following message: "Cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF (dvipdfm)." Go to Edit -> Preferences -> File formats, highlight "PDF (dvipdfm)", type "acrord32" in the Viewer slot (assuming you use Acrobat Reader to view PDFs), then click Modify. It would be a good idea to do the same for "PDF" and "PDF (pdflatex)" as well. Then click Save and see if you can now view PDFs. / Paul
Cannot view pdf output
Dear Sirs, I am a very recent user of LyX; I use the Windows implementation (LyX 1.3.5). I have been using LaTeX for more than a decade, and am slowly getting used to the LyX approach. I like it. While I have no difficulty in getting dvi output, I am unable to get a pdf output. When I do "View>PDF" I get the following message: "Cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF (dvipdfm)." This is so both with dvipdfm and pdflatex. Clearly, I have to reset some configuration file, but I don't know which one or how. I am not able to find any answer to this in the Wiki help pages. I would be grateful for help on this matter from some experienced LyX user. Thanks a lot. Shailesh Shirali
