Oh, heck. I broke the regular export of the one-page at a time PDF when I added my copier for the 4 sheets on one page.
Details below, please advise. On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Richard Heck <rgh...@comcast.net> wrote: > On 02/27/2012 01:11 PM, Paul Johnson wrote: When this finally seemed to work, I was so happy. However, I see now I've broken the pdf export. The weird thing is that LyX asks me if I want to replace the old pdf version, and I say yes, it still does not get copied. Just now, I worked on lecture notes and exported to PDF(Beamer). I end up with -rw-r--r-- 1 337226 Mar 2 00:57 Regression-MultipleInputs-lecture-2-2x2.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 56429 Mar 2 00:55 Regression-MultipleInputs-lecture-2.lyx -rw-r--r-- 1543209 Sep 29 12:17 Regression-MultipleInputs-lecture-2.pdf I do get the 4 slides on 1 page output, the one with 2x2 on the end. The lyx file is saved, but last semester's pdf is stuck there. Here's what I'm using now. In .lyx/preferences, I add: \format "pdf5" "pdf" "PDF (Beamer)" "" "evince" "" "document,vector,menu=export" \converter "pdflatex" "pdf5" "pdflatex $$i" "latex=pdflatex" \copier pdf5 "pdfcopier.sh \"$$i\" \"$$o\"" And here's "pdfcopier.sh" #!/bin/bash INFILE="$1"; pdfnup --nup 2x2 --frame true --suffix '2x2' --batch "$INFILE"; Inside LyX, I can Export to PDF(Beamer) and it does export the file with the 2x2 format, and the name is set correctly. .
