Re: Recommended PDF viewer?

[edu Gpl]

no command in lyx, only as i told you.

Dear Wierdl
- acrobat worked in my win 10 without any problem.
- if you install acrobat pdf after lyx go to:
Start > setting > system > default app
Then from default app select :
Dafault app by file type

Then go down to pdf file:
Click on + button and select acrobat pdf viewer

Best regards

I use Sumatra PDF. LyX can be configured for it with synctex for forward
and backward search. https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX#toc2 That feature
is a huge help with the non WYSIWYG aspect of TeX.


The instructions on the wiki are admirably clear. Having followed them, 
I find, with LyX 2.2.2 and SumatraPDF v.3.1.2 64 bit, that the checkbox 
Synchronize with output in  Document>Settings>Output seems to have no 
effect, one way or the other. Forward and inverse search work 
irrespective of whether it is set or not.

I for one usually recommend Evince. Just for previewing, it's simple
and elegant.

So then what is the recommended PDF previewer for LyX on Windows 10?

Thanks,

Thanks.

Does automatic  updating of the viewer work after recompilation of the file?

I often see that Sumatra PDF is recommended for Windows.
