Viewers for PDF, PS, and DVI ⇒ Set up two independent viewers for same file format

[jflyx]

I would like to have 2 independent file viewers for SumatraPDF and Acrobat using the same file format(pdflatex=pdf2).

What is the easiest way to achieve this?

The viewer seems to be connected to the file format so I either have Acrobat or Sumatra but not both.

But I would love to be able to have both!

They are both useful as Sumatra gives you forward and inverse search, but Acrobat prints nicely.

Thank You in advance.
PS - If you need any help with the forward/inverse issue I have it working.

In which way is this question related to the LaTeX typesetting system? Apart from that a click with the right mouse button on a PDF file should offer you the option »Open with …« in the appearing context menu where you can choose the viewer if you have more than one installed. Furthermore SumatraPDF offers to view the open file in another viewer (see attachment).


Best regards and welcome to the board

I use Acrobat Pro.

It is a little inconvenient to be updating a lyx file (and looking at it every few minutes) to have to go outside of LyX just to view the file.

This should be really easy to do from within LyX.

I just thought that with the "viewer" option so plainly in VIEW, this would be easy to do from within LyX.

But perhaps not.
