Hi, as I have been on vacation I was not able to follow the discussion about PDF generation earlier on this list.
The major task of tex2pdf is to provide an easy way to generate PDF from INSIDE and outside Lyx. All the stuff you have to do (e.g. EPS translation, insertation of extra TeX stuff for pdftex, ...). What you have to do to make tex2pdf work from inside LyX: 1. Download tex2pdf (I suggest the Perl version, beta2 should be fine) from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tex2pdf/ 2. Unpack it, put it in your binary path, (e.g. /usr/local/bin) and make sure it is executable. 3. Run 'tex2pdf --configure' ('tex2pdf -r' for bash port) as the regular user who wants to use it. NOTE: The script refuses to start without prior configuration! 4. Have a look at possible command line options with 'tex2pdf --help' 5. Choose in the following menu: Edit->Preferences->Converters->Converters 'LaTeX->PDF(pdftex)' and set the 'Converter' field to your tex2pdf executable with all it options and the argument '$$i' at the end: e.g.: /usr/local/bin/tex2pdf $$i 6. Confim your changes. Now it should work. 7. Report any problems to the tex2pdf list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and or the lyx-users list. To use tex2pdf from outside Lyx simply call it by 'tex2pdf [OPTIONS] DOCUMENT.lyx' or 'tex2pdf [OPTIONS] DOCUMENT.tex' Hope it helps ... Bye, Steffen
