I'm new to lyx, so please bear with me. I've got a lyx document that I want
to turn into a pdf. I know this is easy to do through the graphical
interface; is there a way to do it via the commandline? I see that there's a
'-x' option for executing a lyx command from the commandline. Can it be used
for pdf creation?
Thanks in advance,

Although I don't know which platform you use or what software is installed, I
would suggest the following:
- Open the LyX document, let us say example.lyx
- File -> Export -> LaTeX
- In the command line, type in e.g.: pdflatex example.tex
I typically generate PDF's in this way because it is verbose, flexible,
and can
be conveniently integrated with LaTeX templates and styles. Moreover, I prefer
output from latex2html to lyx2html, which makes this step a necessary one.
Hope it helps,
Roy
