Magnification of pdf File Created by LYX

[Doug Martin]

Rasmus,

Thanks for your quick response.
Of course one can do what you suggest, and I have done it.

But I do a lot of editing of LYX files and compiling to pdf (many! times a
day), and I want the pdf
file to be at 125% when I open it, and not have to scroll  to get that.

I did find that there is a LaTeX \mag xxxx, e.g., \mag 1200 for 20%
increase, but I haven't been
able to succeed using it by opening the LYX file and adding \mag 1200  (or
whatever xxxx turns
out to be needed), and saving it, whereupon I get an error.

This adjustment would seem to be something the the LaTeX to pdf Conveter
should control ???
