Re: PDF will not reload
Problems like Josep has are caused by non ASCII characters (notice the "í") in the path used by Lyx. Lyx isn't able to open any of the viewers (no PS, no DIV, no PDF). Not easy to identify...even less easy to solve. Also sometimes acrobat reader opens but doesn't load lyx documents. Try to change the pdf converter (Tools>Preferences>File handling>file format>Default output format) to other than pdflatex..ps2pdf works fine with me. Hope it's useful

I am still using Lyx 1.6 so far. Please fix it soon ! :) Kind regards, Mariano.
PDF will not reload
I've used IObit to Uninstall all Adobe and related PDF software(Foxit...) Uninstall Lyx using IObit. Clean the register with Execute>regedit Searching and deleting all Adobe and Lyx entries. After reboot the computer I've installed Lyx 2.0. Reboot. And finally it works! Good luck

From the download does not open the PDF in the earlier version of Lyx, I worked with no problems so far. I'm working with Windows XP SP3. I can advise what to do. Greetings, Josep Lluís

I personally use the lightweight pdf viewer Skim [0] which auto-reloads pdfs, supports LyX' output syncing (from pdf to LyX) and more. Alternatively MacOSX default viewer 'Preview' does also reload pdfs when updated by LyX (you have to give it the focus though). > I am, as far as I can tell, running the latest version of Reader (10.0.3) and > definitely the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard Server, which I'm using > from a user level account.

Except I'm encountering this issue under Mac OS X. After changing the document I use the View PDF (pdflatex) option. If I have a version of the PDF open in Adobe Reader already then I do NOT see the newer version. My workaround is to close the Adobe Reader window (or close Reader entirely) before viewing the updated PDF version. I am, as far as I can tell, running the latest version of Reader (10.0.3) and definitely the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard Server, which I'm using from a user level account. And my copy of LyX is 2.0.0 (29 April 2011 build). I have MacTex installed (latest available from CTAN). Regards, Trevor. <>< Re: deemed!

It works fine for me with the same setup, Windows 7 + Adobe Reader 10.0.1. Do I understand correctly that the "View PDF" button works but "Update PDF" does not? When happens when you click Update?

Re: PDF will not reload
I didn't know you had made a module specially for this issue. I still prefer Sumatra for previewing as it is far much lighter. Thx for the tip, though.

Strange, because I can do this with Adobe Reader 10.1 and LyX 2.0.0 under Win7 without problems. I'm using Lyx 2.0 and acrobat reader 10.0.1 on windows 7. Could this have something to do with the default security settings in this version of acrobat? The problem also exists with PDF-XChange PDF Viewer and the developers of that reader explained that it locks files while they are open and prevents being written to. Yes, that's why we created a program to close/reopen Adobe Reader automatically. Joost, do you have an idea why this doesn't work for Hafney? regards Uwe

However, Sumatra works perfectly. Thanks.

PDF will not reload
Hi, I'm at the end of my rope with adobe acrobat. I'm using adobe acrobat reader 10. I can successfully generate a pdf but I cannot update the pdf after I make changes to my .lyx document. How do I fix this? (I'm using windows). I read some speculation that this could be a bug in adobe but that Lyx 2.0 solved the problem. But I just installed Lyx 2.0 and the problem persists. I read http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF (near bottom) but still cannot solve my problem. I've now abandoned adobe all together and am using Sumatra (as advised in the wiki entry.) Could I fix this problem with acrobat? Or did I make the right choice by dumping it? If that was the right choice, what is the best pdf viewer to use with Lyx? Any guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks. Hafney
