Zathura +Lyx

[Oliver Sargent]

Hi All,

For some reason I would like to use zathura to view .pdf files generated 
by clicking on the preview button in Lyx. I have edited the field 
preferencesfile format pdflatexviewer so that it now says custom and 
in the text box it says zathura. Now the problem is when I click the 
preview button zathura opens but does not display the correct file. 
Presumably Lyx has to pass some file name to zathura, I have tried $$f, 
$$r etc, but this didn't work either. When I try these options two 
instances of zathura open, one is empty and the other displays a 
'filetype not supported' message. I have tested zathura and it is 
perfectly able to open regular .pdf files. I have also searched online 
and I am unable to find a solution to this problem, does anyone have any 
suggestion?


Best wishes

Oli

Re: Title and Abstract dissappeared

[Andrew Crampton]

Hello Lyx Users
I updated lyx to 2.1.2.2 before I updated to yosemite and have updated all of 
my LaTeX files, i.e. I have MacTeX 2014 installed and have run TeX Live Utility 
for updates.  I also reconfigured Lyx and have reset my computer numerous 
times.  I attempted to make an elsevier document fresh and have the same issue; 
the title and abstract page does not appear.  I exported this to a .tex file 
and the same problem is still present.  Other document classes still work fine, 
so I think it may be a problem with elsarticle and the most recent versions of 
OS X and Lyx.

Newbie question: which pdf reader to use with Windows 8.1?

[Ashok]

I currently have Acrobat Pro 11. It's very unwieldy. The first time I view 
a document, it's fine, but then it gets stuck. Even exiting Acrobat 
doesn't help. I have to exit Lyx and get back!

Is there a simpler alternative? And how to tell Lyx not to use Acrobat 
pro? (I have Acrobat Pro associated as the default pdf viewer on my 
Windows system; that's how I would like to continue for non-Lyx uses.)

TIA.

I'm on Windows 7. Until earlier this year I used Adobe Reader, but over 
the years it has got more and more ponderous and LyX interacts with it 
somewhat clunkily. I've since installed Sumatra. It's much smaller and 
more responsive and I'm pleased with how it interacts with LyX. But for 
things like printing a pdf Adobe Reader has additional options (e.g. 
printing in reverse order) so I keep it on disk.


If you want Adobe Pro to be your default Windows pdf viewer and yet have 
Sumatra (or Evince or whatever) as your LyX pdf viewer, you need to go 
to Tools  Preferences  File Handling  File Formats and under the 
format PDF (pdflatex) go down to the Viewer: slot (where it may show 
pdfview) and choose Custom and in the right-hand slot enter e.g. 
SumatraPDF, then click Apply. Now in the larger window on the left 
select Paths. Second slot from the bottom on the right is PATH prefix. 
At the end of whatever is already there add (e.g.)


;C:\Program Files (x86)\SumatraPDF

(note the semicolon) or whatever the path is to the directory holding 
the .exe file of your chosen LyX pdf viewer. Now click Save.

If you want Adobe Pro to be your default Windows pdf viewer and yet have 
Sumatra (or Evince or whatever) as your LyX pdf viewer, you need to go 
to Tools  Preferences  File Handling  File Formats and under the 
format PDF (pdflatex) go down to the Viewer: slot (where it may show 
pdfview) and choose Custom and in the right-hand slot enter e.g. 
SumatraPDF, then click Apply. Now in the larger window on the left 
select Paths. Second slot from the bottom on the right is PATH prefix. 
At the end of whatever is already there add (e.g.)


;C:\Program Files (x86)\SumatraPDF

(note the semicolon) or whatever the path is to the directory holding 
the .exe file of your chosen LyX pdf viewer. Now click Save.

Zathura +Lyx

[Oliver Sargent]

Hi All,

For some reason I would like to use zathura to view .pdf files generated 
by clicking on the preview button in Lyx. I have edited the field 
preferences>file format> pdflatex>viewer so that it now says custom and 
in the text box it says zathura. Now the problem is when I click the 
preview button zathura opens but does not display the correct file. 
Presumably Lyx has to pass some file name to zathura, I have tried $$f, 
$$r etc, but this didn't work either. When I try these options two 
instances of zathura open, one is empty and the other displays a 
'filetype not supported' message. I have tested zathura and it is 
perfectly able to open regular .pdf files. I have also searched online 
and I am unable to find a solution to this problem, does anyone have any 
suggestion?


Best wishes

Oli

Re: Title and Abstract dissappeared

[Andrew Crampton]

Hello Lyx Users
I updated lyx to 2.1.2.2 before I updated to yosemite and have updated all of 
my LaTeX files, i.e. I have MacTeX 2014 installed and have run TeX Live Utility 
for updates.  I also reconfigured Lyx and have reset my computer numerous 
times.  I attempted to make an elsevier document fresh and have the same issue; 
the title and abstract page does not appear.  I exported this to a .tex file 
and the same problem is still present.  Other document classes still work fine, 
so I think it may be a problem with elsarticle and the most recent versions of 
OS X and Lyx.

Ok, thanks for the info. Are you able to provide a small example to reproduce 
your problem, please?
Ideally both files, the LyX- and the TeX-file.

Newbie question: which pdf reader to use with Windows 8.1?

[Ashok]

I currently have Acrobat Pro 11. It's very unwieldy. The first time I view 
a document, it's fine, but then it gets stuck. Even exiting Acrobat 
doesn't help. I have to exit Lyx and get back!

Is there a simpler alternative? And how to tell Lyx not to use Acrobat 
pro? (I have Acrobat Pro "associated" as the default pdf viewer on my 
Windows system; that's how I would like to continue for non-Lyx uses.)

TIA.

I like sticking to Evince when forced to use Windows: it's slim,
quick, and makes sense for viewing PDF files. It also auto-loads
updated files gracefully, unlike Acrobat.

I'm on Windows 7. Until earlier this year I used Adobe Reader, but over 
the years it has got more and more ponderous and LyX interacts with it 
somewhat clunkily. I've since installed Sumatra. It's much smaller and 
more responsive and I'm pleased with how it interacts with LyX. But for 
things like printing a pdf Adobe Reader has additional options (e.g. 
printing in reverse order) so I keep it on disk.


If you want Adobe Pro to be your default Windows pdf viewer and yet have

to Tools > Preferences > File Handling > File Formats and under the
