Acrobat pdf

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Assuming this is on the Mac:

Click on any PDF and then issue CMD-I. Then change the "Open-With"
Pulldown do whatever viewer you want but click on "Change-All"

Then in Lyx you can use "open" as the viewer.

PDF Expert is very nice and powerful but I like Skim for day-to-day by
the way.
