Dear Sirs,
I am a very recent user of LyX; I use the Windows implementation (LyX
1.3.5). I have been using LaTeX for more than a decade, and am slowly
getting used to the LyX approach. I like it.
While I have no difficulty in getting dvi output, I am unable to get a
pdf output. When I do "View>PDF" I get the following message:
"Cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF (dvipdfm)."
This is so both with dvipdfm and pdflatex. Clearly, I have to reset some
configuration file, but I don't know which one or how. I am not able to
find any answer to this in the Wiki help pages.
I would be grateful for help on this matter from some experienced LyX
user. Thanks a lot.

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> File formats, highlight "PDF (dvipdfm)",
type "acrord32" in the Viewer slot (assuming you use Acrobat Reader to
view PDFs), then click Modify. It would be a good idea to do the same
for "PDF" and "PDF (pdflatex)" as well. Then click Save and see if you
can now view PDFs.
