For me (with pdf generated from Word on a pre-Yosemite Mac) the rendering within LyX does not work well (it puts the two pages on top of each other). Creating a pdf (pdf-latex) works fine though. If it could be of any help in pin-pointing the problem the pdf inserted here are two pages in one file inserted using Insert > file > external material.
When inserting as graphics (including within a float) rendering of a pdf also works although the preview gets an ²Error converting to loadable format² /Anders From: Christopher Menzel <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday 12 November 2014 22:23 To: LyX Users List <[email protected]> Cc: LyX Developers <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Yosemite problems... > I've been having this problem with embedded PDFs as well since at least 2.1.1. > (As with Murat, they do render successfully if I start LyX from the CL.) > > -chris > > Murat Yildizoglu wrote: >> Hi, >> I have updated by MacBook to Yosemite and LyX to the last version (2.1.2.1). >> This solves the problem of only being able to reconfigure LyX after having >> launched it from the command line. >> But I have now another problem, the figures in PDF format are not loaded in >> LyX.
