Thanks!!! That was the issue. I didn't realize that the icon was set to
export and not view

You're mixing apples and oranges.  The PDF file is created in the same 
directory as the LyX file if you choose File->Export, in which case the 
file quite properly is *not* opened in Acrobat.  To view the document in 
Acrobat, you need to choose View->PDF (...).


The LyX 1.4.x installer does not automatically set up your PDF viewer. 
Please see http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinTips#pdfview for one option 
to set up the viewer and my response to Matthias Schmidt (message 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in this list) for another.

Acrobat viewing in LyX 1.4.1

[Sreekumar Bhaskaran {msbad084}]

Don't know whether this is relevant or not. This started happening after
I installed the installer (LyXWin141preSmall-1-9.exe) from
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_
id=9632 (I had all the programs installed though, but still wanted to
know whether this version would have better instant preview)
After the official version of LyX141 was released, I uninstalled the
installer and installed lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe from
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX14x

The problem with pdf viewing started then. Incidentally, this problem
was there even when I had LyXWin141preSmall-1-9.exe installed.

Thanks

When I compile a lyx file to pdf in 1.4.1, it just creates the document
in the directory in which the lyx file is, but does not open it. I
remember, in 1.3.7, it used to be created in a temporary directory and
would also open simultaneously. I am using acrobat professional 6.0.

Is this bug? Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks
