OK, first take a deep breath, stretch, and calm down. It's just a technical problem, you'll solve it. First things first: Back up your existing file so if you screw it up farther you can get back to where you are now. Once backed up, continue... In addition to the other suggestions you've received, I'd like you to try export to .dvi, using the following: lyx -e dvi myfile.lyx dvisee myfile.dvi or xdvi myfile.dvi or if you use Windows, whatever dvi viewer you have. Either you'll get 350 pages, 52 pages, no result, or something else. If you get 52 pages, it's not specific to PDF -- there's something else going on. More on that later. If it's 350 pages, there's something different about the way you're exporting to PDF. Take the next step and convert the dvi to postscript like this: dvips -o myfile.ps myfile.dvi Does it still have 350 pages? If so, convert from there to PDF: ps2pdf myfile.ps Does it still have 350? The preceding procedure will help you figure out where in the lyx->dvi->ps->pdf conversion chain the problem is happening. If that doesn't yield good results, don't worry, there are many other diagnostic tests you can perform to get to the root of the problem.
