Hi Uwe. Thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested, and although I can still write to a pdf once, I still also cannot update the pdf to reflect subsequent changes to my file. 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. However, Sumatra works perfectly. Thanks.
