Thanks Paul,
Just so the symptom is completely described, I've uploaded ps.jpg and pdf.jpg
to http://www.a3b3.com/lyx/. They're annotated to completely describe the
symptom. The ps.jpg file's title bar says "test.dvi", but it was created by
LyX's View->Postscript.
I've also included a new test.lyx with all 3 syntaxes included, although of
course two are commented out.
No matter which of your hyperref syntaxes I used, I could not get the pdf
reader's numbers to reset. Also, if I used:
\usepackage[pdfpagelabels,pdfpagemode=None]{hyperref}
View->PDF(pdflatex) produced the following error:
pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{page.1}) ha
\chapter
{Chapter two} [1
Thanks for all the help. This really is important to me because I'm selling an
Ebook, and it would be much nicer if the document's page numbers matched
those on the viewer.
I'm still wondering if the pst-pdf package would solve this, but as I
mentioned in my 5/21 post, its documentation is sparse and doesn't match the
files sent, and the package appears to error out when incorporated in any
obvious way.
Thanks
