Re: Can't preview using pdflatex

Sorry, cut that last reply a bit short.  I'm not sure if pdfview works 
with PDF readers other than Acrobat.  If you're using a non-Adobe 
reader, you should put the command for that reader into the Viewer: 
field, and add the path to the reader to Tools > Preferences... > Paths 
> PATH prefix (unless the reader's directory is already on the system 
command path).  You only need pdfview if you're using Acrobat Reader.

Any hint?


You didn't specify an OS, but it appears to be Windows.  I don't know 
what clobbered "auto" viewing mode when you reconfigured, but you can 
try the following fix:


1.  Take a look in the LyX bin directory and make sure that pdfview.exe, 
pdfopen.exe and pdfclose.exe are present.  (LyX should have installed them.)


2.  Go to Tools > Preferences... > File Handling > File formats, select 
each of the PDF variants you use, change the Viewer: field to 'pdfview' 
(without the quotes), and save the changes.

Can't preview using pdflatex

2009-03-07 Thread Cy. T. 

After I clicked "Reconfigure" under "Tools", I can no longer use the PDF 
preview function.

 

The error message is simply

 

"Auto-view file C:/(filename) failed".

 

Any hint?

 

Thanks.
