Hello, trying to include a pdf file in my LyX document. This is Lyx 1.3.7-3 on Windows.I have in my preamble: \usepackage{pdfpages} Then in the document ERT: \includepdf{testfile.pdf}When I export to pdflatex, a pdf is created but it does not have the included file.
Interesting. I need to put an absolute path in the ERT (for instance, \includepdf{/temp/testfile.pdf}) in order to get View->PDF (pdflatex) or File->Export->PDF (pdflatex) to work at all; otherwise I get a latex error (can't find the included file), even if the included file sits in the same directory as the LyX document. On the other hand, if I export to LaTeX and compile outside LyX, it works without the path.
Any advice or working lyx files would be greatly appreciated.
1. Take a look at the log file (View->LaTeX Log file) and see if anything informative shows up.
2. Export to LaTeX, run pdflatex from a command prompt, and see if you get a valid result.
3. (Long shot) make sure that there is not a file with the right name but zero byte length sitting around where pdflatex might grab it.
