This is working for me:
1. Create a script in "$HOME"/bin named iPadConvert.sh
1a) mkdir -p "$HOME"/bin
1b) vi "$HOME"/bin/iPadConvert.sh
=======================================
#!/bin/sh
exec >> "$HOME"/bin/iPadConvert.log
echo $(date)":" "$0" "$@"
filename=$(basename "$1" .tex)
if [ -d "$2" ]; then
targetdir="$2"
elif [ -f "$2" ]; then
targetdir=$(dirname "$2")
else
targetdir="$2"
if [ ! -d "$2" ]; then
echo Bad call with target "$2"
exit 1
fi
fi
echo pwd=$(pwd) filename="$filename"
echo pdflatex "$1" "$targetdir"/"$filename".pdf
pdflatex "$1" && test -f "$filename".pdf && cp "$filename".pdf "$targetdir"/
echo cp "$1" "$targetdir"/"$filename".tex
cp "$1" "$targetdir"/"$filename".tex
=======================================
1c) chmod +x "$HOME"/bin/iPadConvert.sh
2. Add $HOME/bin to PATH settings of LyX (at end with colon separator)
=> Preferences => Path
e.g.
/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$HOME/bin
3. Add file format and converter
======================================
\format "ipad" "" "iPad" "" "auto" "" "" „"
\converter "pdflatex" "ipad" "iPadConvert.sh $$i $$r" ""
======================================
4. Export to iPad
=> "$HOME"/bin/iPadConvert.log contains e.g.
======================================

======================================
BTW, you don’t need to save the document to get the updated .tex and .pdf
files...
The culprit is: you need to add the location of your script to LyX’s path
setting!
HTH and regards,
