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!

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

2005-01-12 Thread Shailesh Ashok Shirali
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.
