Hello,
I am just starting to work with with Lyx and therefore I am  obviously no
expert. Atm I am having huge problems with a simple step right at the beginning.
After I create a new file (no template) and enter a small text I cannot preview
it. I always get the message "No pdf viewer is installed. Please install a pdf
viewer such as adobe reader." I have a pdf viewer installed (Adove and Sumatra)
I checked tools > preferences > files > converter (I am using the german version
so these are my translation) and checked for a relation but there are quite a
lot of possibilities and I am not sure what exactly I should look for. lyx -->
xxx or latex --> xxx? There is no option lyx --> pdf only converters to older
versions of lyx. There are converters like LaTeX (pdflatex) --> PDF (pdflatex).
If I understood the tutorial properly it needs to be lyx to pdf right? Anybody
have an idea how to fix this or manualy install such a converter? I am using
Windows 8

Regards Matthias
