I'm using LyX 1.6.8 on Windows 7 Pro x64. Today I installed Adobe Reader X - and it doesn't work with LyX any more: Adobe Reader does not open the generated PDF after you created the PDF with LyX. It only shows a welcome dialog like "Open last files - Acrobat services - etc".

First idea of course was "file association" - But the pdf file association is alright. Double clicking a pdf works from any place (also paths with spaces).

Anyone having ideas? Confirmthis? Maybe related to some 64 bit thing?

If its possible to send a Minimum Working Example we can diagnose the problem. Check with sumatrapdf viewer downloadable at blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/…. Its good for latex needs. – texenthusiast Jun 19 '12 at 21:47

Go to Acrobat Reader’s Edit/Preferences/General and un-check the box at the bottom that says “Enable Protected Mode at startup”.

Or use a better PDF viewer such as Sumatra which works well with LaTeX and can synchronise TeX source and PDF.
