 Does anyone can tell me if there is a way of exporting Lyx files to PDF.
 Of course i can save the Lyx file as a PSf file and then use Acrobat
 Distiller in Windows.
 But can io do that directly from Lyx.

i suppose, you are using lyx older than 1.1.6.

choose in layout-document-characterset-pslatex
than file-export-postcript
in the bottom line shall be a command like ps2pdf ...
it's defined in ~/.lyx/lyxrc

maybe that your pdf-file is saved in your lyx-temp dir
/tmp/lyx...
