[Tex/LaTex] Lyx: Change PDF Viewer from Adobe to Mac Preview

lyxpreview

I am working with Lyx 2.1.2.2 for Mac. I want to change the pdf viewer from adobe to mac's preview. Adobe does not update changes unless I export the file, or close the pdf preview and reload it.

I am not sure what exactly I should change in "Lyx/Preferences" in order to switch the lyx preview.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Setting in preferences->File handling->File formats:

  1. format choose "PDF (pdflatex)"

  2. set viewer to "open -a Preview" It works for me:)
