Hello,
when trying to export the LyX User Manual to PDF (pdflatex), I got 6 error
messages concerning eps files. It seems like pdflatex does not accept
postscript files. Does anybody have an idea how to handle that situation? (I
once heard about a "metapost" format but I have no details).
Please note that it is not possible to go to one of these errors in LyX - you
have to read the latex output!
Secondly, I get a lot of console messages during exporting:
aegir:/home/schmitt.511 % Converting from latex to pdf2
Running pdflatex
TexRow::increasePos: this should happen maximum one time for each run of
increasePos!
TeXRow::increasePos: ideally this should never happen...
TeXRow::increasePos: ideally this should never happen...
TeXRow::increasePos: ideally this should never
happen...
and many, many more of them. The problem is easily reproducable.
And finally, I would like to express my disappointment about the poor support
of pdflatex! Normally, pdflatex should provide nice features such as document
structuring (click on an entry in the toc and jump directly to corresponding
page). However, in order to activate them, you need to add a few lines in the
latex code that are specific to pdflatex.
I have once taken over the following statements from a german magazine called
"c't".
*************************
\pdfoutput=1
\documentclass[pdftex]{MyDocumentClass}
\usepackage{graphicx,thumbpdf}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage[colorlinks,bookmarks,pdftitle={MyTitle},pdfsubject={MySubject},
pdfkeywords={MyKeyword1,MyKeyword2},pdfauthor={Me}]{hyperref}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{} % I am not sure what it does (related to
Metapost???)
*************************
Adding similar lines to the latex output generated by LyX should increase the
usability of the pdf output significantly!!! (and reduce the size of the pdf
file as well)
Kind regards,
Michael
