Here are some quick responses: 1. The directory is indeed the user directory in About LyX. 2. I see in the preferences file the line "Format 24" but no line "Format 34." I added the line \default_view_format pdf2 after this line, but it didn't seem to do anything upon restarting LyX. 4. When I look in configure.log in the same directory, I do see these lines INFO: checking for the pdflatex program... INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"... yes DEBUG: Add to RC: \converter pdflatex pdf2 "pdflatex $$i" "latex=pdflatex,hyperref-driver=pdftex" Thanks, Dave
