Export a PDF file
I was just wondering what is the most consistent way to generate a PDF document that is 100% readable by someone using Windows and Adobe Acrobat? I find that it is hit and miss when I generate a PDF from within LyX. For instance I exported a document last night and find that I can only view it using Ghostview on my windows machine here at work. When I try to open the document in Acrobat I get the error file does not start with %PDF- Kent Kostuk [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kent, It may be that your file is still postscript... change the file extention to .ps on your windows machine and try to view it with ghostview...

RE: Export a PDF file
I opened the file with a PDF and PS extension in Ghostview and it is fine (although the ouput is pretty rough looking considering the font was set as pslatex). But if I try to convert it to a pdf Ghostview crashes. I think you are right about it being a postscript file. Here is the start of the file. %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Pages: (atend) %%BoundingBox: 113 42 545 718 %%HiResBoundingBox: 113.10 42.30 545.00 717.60 %... %%Creator: GNU Ghostscript 550 (pswrite) %%CreationDate: 2001/11/12 23:15:57 %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit %%LanguageLevel: 2 %%EndComments %%BeginProlog I am going to have to try this again on my home linux box to see if I can repeat the process.
