Thank you so much for your rapid and extremely useful reply.
You are correct - I am using Windows - and I must have used another export filter. I entered acrobat.exe in the three pdf viewers and all worked well.
I also have some other problems :
In exporting updated pdflatex files, the update seems to get stuck in a
temporary directory -
not the directory the lyx file resides and in which I presume the updated
version of the pdf file should reside.
After restarting LyX, I had no problem, so perhaps it was because I
overloaded the software with so many attempts at creating a pdf file.
It is important that LyX's installations- and working directories (with all subdirectories) have write-permissions for "everybody".
However I set the size of an imported graphic, all imports result in a graphic wider than the page size in LyX and in the pdf file.
You have to scale the pictures, so that they fit to the page width. Right click on the image and adjust the size in the appearing dialogue.
The scaling units are explained here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Units
Section 5.3.6.5 - How can I make URLs clickable - of "Extended LyX Feature " refers to a reference http://ev-en.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LyxPdf but one gets sent to the Wiki site instead, and I couldn't find the answer there.
ev-en.org was the old location of LyX's wiki. The new one is now:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/PDF
I'll update the documentation.
I worked out how to use labels and cross-references, but I couldn't see
anything on making internal hyperlinks in the document e.g.. to click on a cross-reference and jump to a label (or is
it the other way round ?)
Right-click on the cross-reference box andd you'll jump to the label.
