Create PDF on Mac without Duplicate -> Save As

Post by Thimsim »

I'm using LyX 2.0.3 on Mac OS X Lion and have trouble creating PDFs without a hassle.
Hitting "View" generates a PDF that is opened in Preview as expected. However, the file is nowhere to be found after Preview is closed. This means that to have a permanent PDF, I have to hit "View" then select "Duplicate" and then save that copy manually. Not very practical :?
There must be an easier way, as for LaTeX where you compile and get a PDF in the same directory...
Please help!

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
