There is a possible bug here: Using change tracking with PDF output (pdflatex), the \lyxdeleted and \lyxadded commands work as supposed (respectively: read, strike out and blue). However, the change bar is not printed at the margin.
Looking at the source, I noticed that LyX uses the xcolor, pdfcolmk and ulem pacs to show the changes, when the output is directly piped to a PDF. OTOH, if I export the doc to (plain) latex, LyX will use the dvipost package. Then, with "pplatex <doc>" and "dvipdf <doc>", the resulting PDF contains the change bar. ================================================= Here is the source text, which won't printout the change bar. ================================================= %% LyX 2.1.4 created this file.
