tex2pdf aims to run pdflatex on tex file ready for plain latex (i.e. creating dvi) without altering the original. Basically it - copies all original tex files as -xxx.tex files (xxx defaults to pdf) - converts all ps or eps graphics to pdf using esptopdf (which lies with the latex binaries, as a perl scrip calling gs) - inserts the hyperref commands described by the configuration files (take the default if not done In addition, it does all the necessary runs to cope with bibtex, index, glossary, check for metapost files, and gives a try (this is not stable yet) to psfrag part. So it "does pdflatex" for you, that means that you should not take steps on your own by including pdftex option of graphicx (I.m not really sure for this) or hyperref itself. You're message about input stack size is puzzling, first time I see it. I had to increase pool size and memory dur tu hyperref buffering needs. All seems correct up to there, you may run with -debug option and see directly what's wrong with the -pdf files, because this message kills the first pdflatex run, so that bibtex cannot work. As this belongs rather to tex2pdf than to lyx, I Cc my answer to the tex2pdf list. -- Jean-Pierre PS the reame is not useful for options, run tex2pdf -c to understand about those. By the way, which tex2pdf version ? Which pdftex version ? Which hyperref version ? Here: ->tex2pdf -v tex2pdf Version 3.1.20 (last CVS) ->pdflatex This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 (Web2C 7.3.7x) ** \ProvidesPackage{hyperref} [2002/05/27 v6.72r Hypertext links for LaTeX]
