I currently have Acrobat Pro 11. It's very unwieldy. The first time I view a document, it's fine, but then it gets stuck. Even exiting Acrobat doesn't help. I have to exit Lyx and get back!
Is there a simpler alternative? And how to tell Lyx not to use Acrobat pro? (I have Acrobat Pro "associated" as the default pdf viewer on my Windows system; that's how I would like to continue for non-Lyx uses.)
TIA.
Roger

Hi and welcome,
SumatraPDF is very good pdf viewer. You can find out how to configure LyX to use Sumatra at their wiki page.
