If my LyX documents contain images then the papersize of the pdflatex output gets set to "letter" (8.5 � 11 inch), whereas I want it to be A4.
I don't have this problem if the margins are set to default or custom.
Below is an excerpt of latex code;
\documentclass[english]{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{a4wide} \begin{document} aaa \end{document}
If I comment out the \usepackage{graphicx} line, then the result of the pdflatex output is a4, otherwise it gives letter size.
The problem is the package a4wide. It is obsolete and actual LaTeX-packages won't take care of it. Have also a look at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf
to read what is also obsolete.
To avoid using a4wide, don't use the option "very small margins" in the menu Layout -> Document -> Margins dialog. You should set the margins manually. You can also set the margins to default and use a koma-script document class, because this calculates the printspace automatically following typesetter rules.
