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 ???

Dear Doug,
I am sorry if what you are describing is a more complex issue then
I what I hear it to be, but did you try changing the zoom level in
the pdf viewer itself?
Try e.g. pressing the Ctrl and the + keys simultaneously, or
holding Ctrl while scrolling up on your mouse wheel, or clicking
the field that says 56.7% and see if you can change it there.
Kind regards,
Rasmus

My pdf files compiled from LYX always have 56.7%
magnification, no matter whether I use
different document classes such as Article versus svmono, and
I want them larger by default,
e.g., 125%. I have not found a solution in the User Guide,
and wonder if anyone can explain
how to do this?

This sounds like a pdf viewer default setting. For instance in
SumatraPDF which I use, under Settings > Options I'm presented with a
small dialogue including the option Default zoom which not only has
things like Fit page, Fit width, Fit content, but a list of default zoom
levels (from 6400% down to 8.33%). For my aging eyes I use 150% and that
is what I get when I view (compile) a LyX document.
