I got the following question from a friend, any ideas? (I'm not on Mac...) ------------------- Thanks -- it's probably really stupid, so try not to laugh... When I click the pdf icon (LyX 5 but the same happens in older versions with menu commands), it opens a viewer (in my case Preview.app on Mac OS X) and displays the pdf. So far so good. If I make changes to the document, and click the refresh pdf icon to the right of the pdf icon, it goes away and does something, but there is no visible effect -- the pdf in my viewer does not update. If I close the pdf viewer window and click the pdf icon, I see the revised pdf in a new window. So I'm baffled by what the refresh icon actually does and how I am supposed to use it. I'm obviously missing something pretty basic here!
Preview.app does not update. You should choose a different .pdf viewer, such as the one that is built into TeXShop.app, and make sure to select "Automatic Preview Update" in the preferences (under the Preview tab).
