Printing ToC

[Rich Shepard]

Running lyx-2.3.5.2-x86_64-1_SBo on Slackware-14.2 here.

I'm drafting a KOMA-Script article and have the ToC written using Sections,
Subsections, and Subsubsections. When I compile it using pdflatex the first
page has the title, the second page is blank, and the third page shows 6 of
the 8 sections. Is this because there's no standard text or other content in
the document?

Regards,

Rich

Have you looked over the LaTeX log? That should give you some hints. It is
possible, I'd think, that the index program is not in the path, or
something like that.

Index not printing

[David White]

Hi,

For some reason, indexes are not being produced with pdflatex.

I started noticing this around the time of upgrading MiKTeX to the latest
(64-bit) version.  I have created several documents with indexes (single
and multiple) in the past, so I am rather baffled.

If I open the LyX User's Guide from the Help menu and hit View [PDF
(pdflatex)], an index is not printed.  If I create a brand new document,
type some text, insert an index entry (using the menu) and insert an index,
an index is not printed.

The "Default" Processor is set in Document Settings > Index Generation.

Strangely, the idx file is created and there are no errors or warnings in
the logs.

Has anyone seen this before?

Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue.

Many thanks, David.

 Hi

 Even though I am an old LaTeX user (but a new LyX user) for my current
 purposes I would like to be able to print in a format very similar to what I
 see on the screen in LyX.  I do realise that LyX is not intended to be
 wysiwyg but what I see on the screen (some basic text and mathematics and
 nested itemised lists) is just about perfect for what I need if I could just
 figure out how to print it so that the printouts look like what I see on the
 screen.

 I guess I don't understand what you mean.  On the one hand, if you have that
 on the screen, isn't it printed out that way?  Aside from re-formatting the
 text to fit the page width, of course.  What else about the way it looks on
 the screen do you not get on the printout?

 On the other hand, why would you want it to look more like the screen than
 the usual TeX output?  TeX adds in ligatures and other fancy font details,
 re-sets the page width and justification, and prints what you wrote.  Some
 fonts are different, but usually better than the on-screen appearance.  Why
 would you want it more like the screen?

 +1 LaTeX is better and prettier for rendering than LyX.

 More details would be useful. The only reason I can think of is that
 you don't have LaTeX installed or you are getting LaTeX errors.

 To answer your question though, I don't think this is possible other
 than taking screen shots. I could be wrong though.

It may not be obvious to him but I think he's looking for the UI font
that he sees on the screen. In that case, mimic the exact font and
point size (up to a max by default) in the document settings (you will
have to use LuaTeX or XeTeX for the TTF support).

Hi

Even though I am an old LaTeX user (but a new LyX user) for my current

I have tried various export formats (although obviously not all of them) 
and the one that is closest to what I'm talking about is LyXHTML but 
even that is pretty far removed from what I see on the screen.

fonts - printing

[Horst Jurkat]

Hi,
my problem that I cannot solve after x google searches:

I use lyx 2.02 under ubuntu 11.10. In my office I have to use the font 
arial. Because this font is not to choose in the standard settings I 
have choose hevetica. But when I print the document the text is bad 
(light); only when I print it out in pdf-format (with foxitreader) it 
looks fine.


Therefore I tried to find a way to use arial.ttf. I installed the newer 
texlive version 2011 (full, with xetex and luatex) and found that there 
are many fonts (incl. arial.ttf) under /usr/share/fonts/... But after 
that Lyx does not show more fonts which can be checked under the 
document settings. When I check the box Non-Tex-Fonts use (via 
XeTex/LuaTex) I can choose many more fonts, also arial, but when I 
print the document Lyx give me a document with many other layouts
than checked (the standard text format for new documents) and also with 
a bad light character.


Has anyone an idea what to do or change to be able to use other 
ttf-fonts or to print in a acceptable way (like under firefox)?


Thank you in advance.
Horst

Re: fonts - printing

Maybe you could try Bera fonts (Bera Sans in this case). And see in the 
produced PDF what the actual font is (Document-Properties-...).

[stefano franchi]

Horst,

I have no clue about your printing issues, but there is an Arial clone
available in Latex.

Check out this link:

Also, what do you mean by printing under Firefox?

 Has anyone an idea what to do or change to be able to use other ttf-fonts
 or
 to print in a acceptable way (like under firefox)?

 Thank you in advance.

 Stefano,

 excuse me: I mean printing under Foxitreader.

 I have installed the package (arial clone), but after texhash und
 reconfigure under Lyx I find no changes.


The Arial clone comes in a package. You must follow the instruction
provide in the link I sent you:

Go to DocumentSetting»Latex Preamble
and type (or cut and paste the following)

\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault} %% Only if the base font of
the document is to be sans serif
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}


The last instruction may not be necessary.

Cheers,

Stefano

 Stefano,

 I have followed the instructions and added the Preamble: the same result.
 But when I check out the box Non-Tex-Fonts use (via XeTex/LuaTex) and
 print I became a latex-error: uarial.sty not found?

 This style is - after installing the named package - in the texlive

 Sorry, but now I have to work in my office for several ours.

Hi,

arial. Because this font is not to choose in the standard settings I 
have choose hevetica. But when I print the document the text is bad 
(light); only when I print it out in pdf-format (with foxitreader) it 
looks fine.

texlive version 2011 (full, with xetex and luatex) and found that there

 Hello LyX users,

 Is it possible to print a paper copy of a LyX document as it appears

Have you tried File  Print? Normally it prints the document as seen
in LyX, and usually people complain that the output is crap while we
point them to the PDF preview.

Regards
Liviu


 I would like to read through a collaborative document with lots of
 tracked changes, LyX notes, and other things that do not get exported
 to PDF, and always find reading the printed page more conducive to
 thinking than reading on-screen.

 Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Use the menu Document-Change Tracking, and check the entry
Show Changes in Output.

When that setting is used, the changes is printed. (Blue for
new stuff, strikeout for deleted stuff, and so on.) This works
for PDF export too.

I don't think you can print notes, but there may be other ways to get
what you want. Instead of using notes, use a special change tracking 
user to write note text. When you no longer need the notes, just
reject those changes. Using a special note user makes it easier to 
see what is notes and what is your normal changes.


I know no way to print exactly what's on screen, other than
using lots of screen dumps. Which is too cumbersome.

It's not possible yet with (yellow) notes, since InsetNote::latex returns 
early if params_.type == InsetNoteParams::Note. Perhaps we should make the 
output a parameter of the layout instead of hardcoding it for a given type.

When I try File  Print, I get a popup menu titled LyX: Print
Document, with Print Destination options of Printer: and File:

The Printer field is blank, and when I choose this option, dvips
starts, saying that it's working with a .dvi file. I can't find this
dvi file or a .ps file created, so I'm not sure it is actually
created.

If I choose File, similarly dvips runs, and a ps file is created. When
I run Distiller on the .ps file, it creates a compiled pdf, which
looks just like what I get if I do File - Export - pdflatex.

Thanks.

Maybe on Windows you don't see that.  It failed to find a printer.  But 
if you have a default printer on your computer, it should be able to 
find it.  You might try ToolsPreferencesOutputPrinter to see what it 
thinks is available (it probably thinks none is), and if there is a

Bob,

I can think of three ways of doing this.

Firstly, insert the PDF pages as figures, which appears to be what you
have been doing, but then use the clipping option to clip an existing
border from the inserted page. This will only work if the inserted PDF
page has a margin as large as the margin in the LyX document.

Secondly, you can insert blank pages in your LyX document where you
want the PDF pages inserted, and put the real pages into your exported
PDF file using pdftk.

The third way is to use the pdfpages package. This is supported in LyX
2.0 through Insert-File-External Material. I don't remember if it is
supported in earlier versions, but even if it isn't you can use LaTeX
code to make it work. See the LaTeX documentation for the package:

Bob,

I can think of three ways of doing this.

Firstly, insert the PDF pages as figures, which appears to be what you
have been doing, but then use the clipping option to clip an existing
border from the inserted page. This will only work if the inserted PDF
page has a margin as large as the margin in the LyX document.

Secondly, you can insert blank pages in your LyX document where you
want the PDF pages inserted, and put the real pages into your exported
PDF file using pdftk.

The third way is to use the pdfpages package. This is supported in LyX
2.0 through Insert->File->External Material. I don't remember if it is
supported in earlier versions, but even if it isn't you can use LaTeX
code to make it work. See the LaTeX documentation for the package:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/

Printing full size pages

[Bob Smither]

I have a LyX document and I want to include some master forms in an 
appendix.  The forms were created in OO.o and converted to letter sized 
PDFs.  Is there a way in LyX to have these pages, when printed from the 
PDF generated from the LyX document, print as full size pages?  Whatever 
I try ends up with the PDF scaled to fit inside the page margins.


Thanks!

No printing of any files

When I try to print any file I get the message: Check that your printer

I have my printer set as Kyocera. All other programs use this without
problems and so does dvips. I couldn't find anything in the docs or in
Google. Of course, I can work round the problem by first exporting the
file as ps and then printing that.

Can someone kindly point to where this printing issue is documented?

Re: Printing a beamer outline

[Graham Smith]

I guess this is impossible.

Unless someone has had a brainwave since my original post.

I've had no reply to this on the Beamer forum or on the comp.text.tex group.

 I was hoping that someone might have known of a simple Latex switch
to switch off the graphics and the article only text, but obviously
not.

I'm not sure how I get round this, certainly don't want to go back to
PowerPoint, but nor do I fancy manually creating and keeping an
outline in sync with the main presentation and article.

Thanks,

Graham

 I just haven't had time to think about it. LyX time is spent chasing other
 bugs right now.

I still appreciate you thinking about it, if you do have a sudden
eureka moment, then I would still appreciate you getting back to me.

I am already viewed with some suspicion, as I don't use PowerPoint,
and as its now department policy to hand out outlines, not being able
to produce them in Lyx/Beamer, gives me a bit of a problem.

Re: Printing a beamer outline

[Paul Rubin]

First off, unless you have a specific reason to put the article-only text in
child documents, I'd probably advocate including it in the original text file in
branches (just to keep things together).  If you have a particular reason to use
child documents, then maybe put the child include statements in a branch (so you
can turn them on and off easily).

I assume you only need to generate the outline thingy for the final
presentation.  Does the following produce what you want?

1. Once the presentation is done, save a copy of the LyX file with a new name
(so as not to molest the original).

2. Change the document class from presentation (beamer) to article (beamer).

3. If necessary, delete the inclusion of the child documents from the copy
(easily done if they're in a branch -- just turn the branch off).

4. Compile/print/distribute.

This gets rid of the background stuff and cosmetic graphics.  I'm not 100% sure
it's what you're looking for, but it's easy enough to try.

I used to do it all in one doc and switch document class as you

get the article to look right and the child document approach allows
easier regular compilation to check that it looks OK. But I agree
using branches looks a promising approach

Certainly its going to be better than PowerPoint, I will give it a go.
