This should now be fixed. To test replace the file pdfview.exe on your
system with this one:
http://ftp.lyx.de/LyX%202.1.3/pdfview.exe

-

I read that you now use SumatraPDF to view PDFs. This is a nice program but
unfortunately it cannot display PDF annotations correctly and also not PDF
forms.

regards Uwe

Scott,

Many thanks for that.

I'm now using Sumatra as the pdf viewer and everything is sorted.

Many thanks!!

Mike

Hi Mike,

Can you see if Sumatra works? An upgrade of Adobe reader would not affect LyX's 
default PDF reader, and LyX prefers Sumatra.

PDF preview in Acrobat Reader DC not working

2015-04-25 Thread Michael Treacy
Hi all,

 

My preview (CTRL+R) does not seem to work with Acrobat Reader DC. I've
upgraded the path in the preferences to c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader DC\Reader.

 

I still have Acrobat 10 on my system and I can get it to work with that but
every time that Acrobat Reader DC updates itself, it re-establishes itself
as the default viewer for pdf files.

 

When I try to get a preview, all I get is the opening screen for Acrobat
Reader DC, no preview. If I click on a PDF file on the pc, it works fine!

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Mike.
