Re: thanks and pstopdf-question
Hi there,
the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
To avoid people getting frustrated (as it happened to me every now and
then when playing around with ps and pdf-files and ugly fonts and/or ugly
figures ... :-) let me just give some hints you might want to keep in mind:
First of all, don´t use ghostscript 6.0 (buggy, doesn´t treat ps-figures
well)
Second, dont´t use ghostcript 5.50 (creates huge pdf-files)
As far as I have tested it, ghostcript 6.0 does a quite good job: it allows
you to use other fonts than the standard or pslatex ones; for example,
newcent works fine for me.
Export your LyX-file to postscript; after that, use ps2pdf your_ps_file.ps
your_pdf_file.pdf to convert the postscript file to a pdf file (this can
be replaced by configuring Edit - Preferences - tab page
Formatkonvertierung, sorry, I don´t know the english label for it, I use
the german localization)
If you want to have informations like author, Document title to be
appeared in Acrobat Reader´s File - Document info and if you want to use
links in your pdf file, put the following line into your LaTeX preamble
(Layout - LaTeX preamble)
\usepackage[ps2pdf, pdftitle={your favorite document title},pdfauthor={the
author},linkcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
where linkcolor is the color in which links should be displayed,
linktocpage don´t use the whole toc-entry as a link but only the page
number (for more options have a look at the hyperref documentation)
HTH,
Stephan

Re: PROBLEMS with REVTEX on: LyX 1.1.6fix2
Thanks - Dekel, Herbert
I tried Dekel Tsur's suggestion of changing
the Lyx preferences. Unfortunately, these are not available
on the popup menu, but have to be handcoded - I guess
you would need to re-edit the file every time you
changed preferences?
The good news is that it does work. I haven't been able
to figure out why the Latex here gives an error, while
Herbert Voss's does not. The Latex I use is running under
Tru64 (not Linux). I've also re-installed the Revtex Class
file from the latest distribution of Lyx. No change.
I haven't tried changing the Revtex Class file.

One option is to fix the revtex.cls file.
Add the following lines to it:
\DeclareOption{english}{
\PackageWarning{revtex}{Ignoring LaTeX option \CurrentOption}
}
at the appropriate place (e.g., just before the other \DeclareOption
commands).
Solution would be if LyX could delete the language
option when there is no language package chosen. RevTex
4 will solve the problem RSN, but it would be nice to have backward
compatibility!!
Another solution is to add one or two of the following lines to
~/.lyx/preferences
\language_use_babel false
\language_global_options false
(return the preferences-languages-language-package to the default)
The first line will cause LyX to not use babel (and not put the english
option) when the language is the default language (english).
The second line will put the language options as arguments to \usepackage
instead as arguments to \documentclass.

Hi:
It's not really strange. It is the difference between math mode italics and
text italics. In mathmode, 'ff' means the product of two variables, while in
text mode, it is simply the ligature. Below please find a lyx file
demonstrating the effects. (Note: amsmath-on).

BTW. It's lyx 1.1.4fix3

OK thanks for the good tips, I really tried hard and finally succeded in a certain way. First off all sorry Herbert but the linebreaks in the e-mails I can't change. I now installed gs_6.01 (which is quite a hard work for a non-programmer) and the pdf files are nicely small. Also the text charakters are looking good. Is it really not recomendable to use the latest gs_7.0 or the gs_6.5? There is one strange thing left. When I export the document from Lyx to a ps-file and then do ps2pdf all the minus symbols from math mode are gone?? When I export from Lyx a DVI-file and then do dvips -Ppdf and after that ps2pdf everything seems to be OK. So my question is how can I specifie this -Ppdf inside Lyx? Sorry but thats all really nebulös for me.

Does LyX complain about broken label or citation references?
Hi -- I've noticed that LyX (or LaTeX I guess) doesn't seem to complain about broken label references. Instead, the reference gets printed with a ? indicating that the target couldn't be found. Is there any way to do a pre-flight of a LyX (LaTeX) document to check the references and make sure they are all present and accessible? Thanks in advance for your time! Ramon

Hi there,
the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
what about this site:
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/pdf.html#faq
This is an old version of the FAQ.
An updated FAQ is available in section 3.3.6 in Extended.lyx
I'm attaching this FAQ in case you have an old version of Extended.lyx.
3.3.6 PDF
by Dekel Tsur (mostly)
The fastest way to generate a basic PDF file (no tags, links,
etc.) with any version of LyX is to save the document as
a Postscript® file, then run the ps2pdf command on it. Starting
with version 1.1.6, the menu item File-Export-PDF will
do all this for you. There are some issues with fonts that
you need to pay attention to: see Section [sec:badfonts].
Also, as of version 1.1.6, there is a better method that
will generate much more sophisticated files.
3.3.6.1 Use pdfLaTeX
With pdfLaTeX you need to convert your eps figures to PDF
(see Section [sec:pdfeps]), and you cannot
use pstricks. On the other hand, with pdfLaTeX it is possible
to insert directly images in JPEG or PNG format, use TrueType
fonts, and more.
3.3.6.2 Why does the text look so bad when viewed with Acrobat
Reader?
The problem is that bitmap fonts are displayed poorly by
Acrobat Reader. When creating a PDF from the LyX file, you
need to use outline font instead of the default bitmap fonts
(in fact, you should also use outline fonts for Postscript
files). Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript®
Type 1 version of the standard (Computer Modern) fonts.
pdfLaTeX uses these font by default. Dvips doesn't use these
fonts by default, so to make it use them, add the following
to lines to your ~/.dvipsrc file
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
If the default LaTeX font encoding (OT1) is used, nothing
else need to be done. However, if the T1 font encoding is
used, then LaTeX uses the newer EC fonts, for which there
are no Type1 version. The solution is to use the ae package
which emulates T1 coded fonts using the standard CM fonts.
This is done by adding \usepackage{ae,aecompl} to the preamble
of the LyX file. However, some glyphs are missing from the
CM fonts (e.g. eth, thorn), and they are taken from the
EC fonts. Therefore you get these glyphs as bitmaps.
Note: LyX uses by default the T1 font encoding. If you wish
to use the default font encoding (this is not recommended,
unless you only write English documents), add the line \font_encoding
default to the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file.
An alternate option is to use the standard Postscript® fonts
instead of the Computer Modern fonts. To do that, you need
to select pslatex as the global font in the document layout
dialog. When using the Postscript® fonts, the result PDF
file is smaller as the fonts are not saved into the file.
Furthermore, the Postscript® fonts include all T1 glyphs.
On the other hand, the Postscript® fonts have no bold symbol
font, so poor man's bold must be used (see Section [sec:pdfbold]).
The Postscript® fonts also look different from the Computer
Modern fonts.
To sum up, both the Computer Modern and the Postscript® fonts
gives good results (with few exceptions). The decision of
which one to use is a matter of taste.
3.3.6.3 How can I use pdfLaTeX on a file with (eps) figures?
pdfLaTeX doesn't support the inclusion of eps files. However,
it does support the inclusion of other PDF files. So if
you have a LyX file that includes an eps figure, say foo.eps,
you need to do the following:
1. Convert foo.eps to PDF by epstopdf foo.eps
2. When you insert the figure in LyX, do not write the file
extension: For example, when inseting the file foo.eps,
you need to write foo in figure dialog.
Note: In 1.2.0 it will be possible to use the new insetgraphics
for inserting various kinds of images, and it will handle
all the necessary transformations. A semi-functional insetgraphics
exist it in 1.1.6. To use it, type M-x graphics-insert.
3.3.6.4 Why doesn't the \boldsymbol{} command work when I use pslatex?
The Postscript® fonts do not have a bold symbol font. The
solution is to use the \pmb{} (poor man's bold) command.
It is possible to redefine the \boldsymbol command to use
\pmb by putting
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\pmb{#1}}
in the preamble.
3.3.6.5 Is it possible to do write latex code which is processed
only when running pdfLaTeX?
Yes. Here is an example:
\newif \ifpdf
\ifx \pdfoutput \undefined
\pdffalse
\else
\pdftrue
\fi
\ifpdf
\pdfinfo { /Author (your name and e-mail address)
/Title (official title -- i.e., title element)
/Subject (one line description of the document)
}
\pdfcatalog { /PageMode (/UseNone)
}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\else
\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

Also the text charakters are looking good. Is it really not recomendable to use the latest gs_7.0 or the gs_6.5? I use both 6.01 and 6.5 (6.5 with a small patch which I can send you privately, or wait a little for the 6.51 release) and did not encounter major problems except for the minus symbol problem below. I did not try gs_7.0 yet. There is one strange thing left. When I export the document from Lyx to a ps-file and then do ps2pdf all the minus symbols from math mode are gone?? When I export from Lyx a DVI-file and then do dvips -Ppdf and after that ps2pdf everything seems to be OK. I noticed the same problem when printing gs6.x generated pdf files to postscript and non-postscript printers with acrobat reader in Windows. The minus symbols were present on-screen though! No problems with printing to postscript printers under Linux (from Acrobat reader). So my question is how can I specifie this -Ppdf inside Lyx? I added this option in LyX 1.1.6fix2 preferences (Converters-Converters), with LyX 1.1.5fix1 this should be possible by defining \dvi_to_ps_command dvips -Ppdf in ~/.lyx/lyxrc With this change, other problems are introduced!

Need help installing a new class and style file
Hello, I'm sorry to post such a lame question to the list but this is my situation: I'm a Linux system Administrator and as such, know a bit about using Linux, but I don't know a thing about LyX, LaTeX or TeX, or any form of typesetting. My church, after examining all the options on all platforms, including things like Quark and Ventura, has decided to use LyX for some publications due to the fact that we have lots of trouble with footnotes in all the other commercial software, and lyX seems like it can fix that. So I have set up a SuSE Linux box for them to try running lyx on. Everything's been going well until they decided to make a new class file. It's actually a set of .cls, .sty and .clo files that they previously set up and got working in some application on windows -- I belive it was Winshell or WinTeX, if that sounds correct ( I know it wasn't MikTeX). We have the LyY Users' Guide and other online stuff, a few books about LaTeX and one book about LyX specifically, I can't remember the name of the book. I do know that the book is somewhat out of date, for example it talks about using OptionsReconfigure, and I see now that Reconfigure is under Edit. Before I go any further I should note that I am using the very latest version of lyx, I downloaded it just today (1.1.6fix2-1 I belive, before now we've been using fix1-2), not the version that came with SuSE. This could possibly be the source of some of my troubles, since SuSE had a very complex .lyxrc that was obviously there for a reason, but the lyx from lyx.org choked over it so we had to delete it. The instructions for installing new classes and styles aren't terribly clear but I did see a section that to my memory read something like this: To install a new class file (.cls) place it under $UserDir/layouts/ or $LyxDir/layouts, choose OptionsReconfigure and restart lyx. That's not verbatim, but it is close. Now I can say this: the class we're trying to install is called bookCP.cls, and I have placed that file, along with bookCP.sty, in ~/.lyx/layouts/ /usr/share/lyx/layouts and /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ after which i have tried running texhash and Options.Reconfigure dozens of times and nothing works -- bookCP never shows up along with the rest of the things in in Layout Document .

Re: Need help installing a new class and style file
Dear jonathan,
Certainly the instructions for installing new classes and styles aren't
terribly clear. This is what I did to install the layout
acmtrans2e described in latex by acmtrans2e.cls and acmtrans.bst I hope
that it will be helpfull.
(Note: acmtrans2e has the same enviroments than article)
1) mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/acmtrans2e
2) cp acmtrans2e.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/acmtrans2e/.
3) mkdir /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/acmtrans2e
4) cp acmtrans.bst /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/acmtrans2e/
5) cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/article.layout
$HOME/.lyx/layouts/acmtrans2e.layout
6) edit $HOME/.lyx/layouts/acmtrans2e.layout
7) replace second line by # \DeclareLaTeXClass{acmtrans2e}
7.5) texhash
8) start lyx
9) edit-reconfigure
10) exit lyx
11) start lyx again
(NOTE: you may try with book.layout instead article.layout)
hope this helps

Hello,
I'm sorry to post such a lame question to the list but this is my situation:
I'm a Linux system Administrator and as such, know a bit about using Linux, but I
don't know a thing about LyX, LaTeX or TeX, or any form of typesetting. My church,
after examining all the options on all platforms, including things like Quark and
Ventura, has decided to use LyX for some publications due to the fact that we have
lots of trouble with footnotes in all the other commercial software, and lyX seems
like it can fix that. So I have set up a SuSE Linux box for them to try running lyx
on.
Everything's been going well until they decided to make a new class file. It's
actually a set of .cls, .sty and .clo files that they previously set up and got
working in some application on windows -- I belive it was Winshell or WinTeX, if that
sounds correct ( I know it wasn't MikTeX).
We have the LyY Users' Guide and other online stuff, a few books about LaTeX and one
book about LyX specifically, I can't remember the name of the book. I do know that
the book is somewhat out of date, for example it talks about using
OptionsReconfigure, and I see now that Reconfigure is under Edit.
Before I go any further I should note that I am using the very latest version of
lyx, I downloaded it just today (1.1.6fix2-1 I belive, before now we've been using
fix1-2), not the version that came with SuSE. This could possibly be the source of
some of my troubles, since SuSE had a very complex .lyxrc that was obviously there
for a reason, but the lyx from lyx.org choked over it so we had to delete it.
The instructions for installing new classes and styles aren't terribly clear but I
did see a section that to my memory read something like this:
To install a new class file (.cls) place it under $UserDir/layouts/ or
$LyxDir/layouts, choose OptionsReconfigure and restart lyx.
That's not verbatim, but it is close. Now I can say this: the class we're trying to
install is called bookCP.cls, and I have placed that file, along with bookCP.sty, in
~/.lyx/layouts/ /usr/share/lyx/layouts and /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ after
which i have tried running texhash and Options.Reconfigure dozens of times and
nothing works -- bookCP never shows up along with the rest of the things in in Layout
Document .
It should be right there along side book and boo (AMS) and the rest, shouldn't it?
By the way, after putting it in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ and running
texhash, it does show up in /usr/share/texmf/ls-R. But never in LyX.
The only other thing I could think of was the variables that were mentioned. trying
things like echo $USERDIR echo $userdir $echo UserDir (BTW, it's a very bad
idea to have mixed case env variables - shell variables should always be upper case
for sanity's sake) revealed nothing, so I thought maybe that was the problem, but
after setting them buy hand, I ran texhash again and EditReconfigure.

Re: Bibliographic references spilling over into margins
Yep, that was the problem. I assumed that upgrading to LyX 1.1.6fix2 would
either fix this problem in a backwards compatible way OR automatically all
multi-citation references to remove the problematic space. In case anyone
else comes across this, here's the Perl script I wrote to remove the spaces:
--
#!/usr/bin/perl
while () {
chop;
if ($_ =~ /\\begin_inset LatexCommand \\cite{(.*)}/) {
$cites = $1;
$cites =~ s/ file://gi;
print \\begin_inset LatexCommand \\cite{$cites}\n;
} else {
print $_ . \n;
}
}

i suppose that you have something like

Yes.
This happens if you created the citation with lyx 1.1.6/1.1.6fix1.
Citations created with 1.1.6fix2 will be OK.
To fix old citations, open the .lyx file with some text editor, and remove
the

Re: thanks and pstopdf-question
Hi there,
the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
To avoid people getting frustrated (as it happened to me every now and
then when playing around with ps and pdf-files and ugly fonts and/or ugly
figures ... :-) let me just give some hints you might want to keep in mind:
First of all, don´t use ghostscript 6.0 (buggy, doesn´t treat ps-figures
well)
Second, dont´t use ghostcript 5.50 (creates huge pdf-files)
As far as I have tested it, ghostcript 6.0 does a quite good job: it allows
you to use other fonts than the standard or pslatex ones; for example,
newcent works fine for me.
Export your LyX-file to postscript; after that, use ps2pdf your_ps_file.ps
your_pdf_file.pdf to convert the postscript file to a pdf file (this can
be replaced by configuring Edit - Preferences - tab page
Formatkonvertierung, sorry, I don´t know the english label for it, I use
the german localization)
If you want to have informations like author, Document title to be
appeared in Acrobat Reader´s File - Document info and if you want to use
links in your pdf file, put the following line into your LaTeX preamble
(Layout - LaTeX preamble)
\usepackage[ps2pdf, pdftitle={your favorite document title},pdfauthor={the
author},linkcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
where linkcolor is the color in which links should be displayed,
linktocpage don´t use the whole toc-entry as a link but only the page
number (for more options have a look at the hyperref documentation)
HTH,
Stephan

Re: PROBLEMS with REVTEX on: LyX 1.1.6fix2
Thanks - Dekel, Herbert
I tried Dekel Tsur's suggestion of changing
the Lyx preferences. Unfortunately, these are not available
on the popup menu, but have to be handcoded - I guess
you would need to re-edit the file every time you
changed preferences?
The good news is that it does work. I haven't been able
to figure out why the Latex here gives an error, while
Herbert Voss's does not. The Latex I use is running under
Tru64 (not Linux). I've also re-installed the Revtex Class
file from the latest distribution of Lyx. No change.
I haven't tried changing the Revtex Class file.

One option is to fix the revtex.cls file.
Add the following lines to it:
\DeclareOption{english}{
\PackageWarning{revtex}{Ignoring LaTeX option \CurrentOption}
}
at the appropriate place (e.g., just before the other \DeclareOption
commands).
Solution would be if LyX could delete the language
option when there is no language package chosen. RevTex
4 will solve the problem RSN, but it would be nice to have backward
compatibility!!
Another solution is to add one or two of the following lines to
~/.lyx/preferences
\language_use_babel false
\language_global_options false
(return the preferences-languages-language-package to the default)
The first line will cause LyX to not use babel (and not put the english
option) when the language is the default language (english).
The second line will put the language options as arguments to \usepackage
instead as arguments to \documentclass.

Hi:
It's not really strange. It is the difference between math mode italics and
text italics. In mathmode, 'ff' means the product of two variables, while in
text mode, it is simply the ligature. Below please find a lyx file
demonstrating the effects. (Note: amsmath-on).

Hi,
Thanks, but I don't understand where to find a package that defines
this, or how to define it with \newenvironment. Could you tell me where
these packages are usually kept, or what extension or file name they
might have?
I've tried looking for occurrences of Preamble, \newenvironment and
usepackage in the lyx layouts directory, but this has not led me
anywhere useful... There is a file named svjour.inc, which contains
various acknowledgements style definitions, but no package seems to be
defined there either.

Re: Re: thanks and pstopdf-question
OK thanks for the good tips, I really tried hard and finally succeded in a certain way. First off all sorry Herbert but the linebreaks in the e-mails I can't change. I now installed gs_6.01 (which is quite a hard work for a non-programmer) and the pdf files are nicely small. Also the text charakters are looking good. Is it really not recomendable to use the latest gs_7.0 or the gs_6.5? There is one strange thing left. When I export the document from Lyx to a ps-file and then do ps2pdf all the minus symbols from math mode are gone?? When I export from Lyx a DVI-file and then do dvips -Ppdf and after that ps2pdf everything seems to be OK. So my question is how can I specifie this -Ppdf inside Lyx?

Does LyX complain about broken label or citation references?
Hi -- I've noticed that LyX (or LaTeX I guess) doesn't seem to complain about broken label references. Instead, the reference gets printed with a ? indicating that the target couldn't be found. Is there any way to do a pre-flight of a LyX (LaTeX) document to check the references and make sure they are all present and accessible? Thanks in advance for your time! Ramon

Hi there,
the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
what about this site:
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/pdf.html#faq
This is an old version of the FAQ.
An updated FAQ is available in section 3.3.6 in Extended.lyx
I'm attaching this FAQ in case you have an old version of Extended.lyx.
3.3.6 PDF
by Dekel Tsur (mostly)
The fastest way to generate a basic PDF file (no tags, links,
etc.) with any version of LyX is to save the document as
a Postscript® file, then run the ps2pdf command on it. Starting
with version 1.1.6, the menu item File-Export-PDF will
do all this for you. There are some issues with fonts that
you need to pay attention to: see Section [sec:badfonts].
Also, as of version 1.1.6, there is a better method that
will generate much more sophisticated files.
3.3.6.1 Use pdfLaTeX
With pdfLaTeX you need to convert your eps figures to PDF
(see Section [sec:pdfeps]), and you cannot
use pstricks. On the other hand, with pdfLaTeX it is possible
to insert directly images in JPEG or PNG format, use TrueType
fonts, and more.
3.3.6.2 Why does the text look so bad when viewed with Acrobat
Reader?
The problem is that bitmap fonts are displayed poorly by
Acrobat Reader. When creating a PDF from the LyX file, you
need to use outline font instead of the default bitmap fonts
(in fact, you should also use outline fonts for Postscript
files). Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript®
Type 1 version of the standard (Computer Modern) fonts.
pdfLaTeX uses these font by default. Dvips doesn't use these
fonts by default, so to make it use them, add the following
to lines to your ~/.dvipsrc file
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
If the default LaTeX font encoding (OT1) is used, nothing
else need to be done. However, if the T1 font encoding is
used, then LaTeX uses the newer EC fonts, for which there
are no Type1 version. The solution is to use the ae package
which emulates T1 coded fonts using the standard CM fonts.
This is done by adding \usepackage{ae,aecompl} to the preamble
of the LyX file. However, some glyphs are missing from the
CM fonts (e.g. eth, thorn), and they are taken from the
EC fonts. Therefore you get these glyphs as bitmaps.
Note: LyX uses by default the T1 font encoding. If you wish
to use the default font encoding (this is not recommended,
unless you only write English documents), add the line \font_encoding
default to the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file.
An alternate option is to use the standard Postscript® fonts
instead of the Computer Modern fonts. To do that, you need
to select pslatex as the global font in the document layout
dialog. When using the Postscript® fonts, the result PDF
file is smaller as the fonts are not saved into the file.
Furthermore, the Postscript® fonts include all T1 glyphs.
On the other hand, the Postscript® fonts have no bold symbol
font, so poor man's bold must be used (see Section [sec:pdfbold]).
The Postscript® fonts also look different from the Computer
Modern fonts.
To sum up, both the Computer Modern and the Postscript® fonts
gives good results (with few exceptions). The decision of
which one to use is a matter of taste.
3.3.6.3 How can I use pdfLaTeX on a file with (eps) figures?
pdfLaTeX doesn't support the inclusion of eps files. However,
it does support the inclusion of other PDF files. So if
you have a LyX file that includes an eps figure, say foo.eps,
you need to do the following:
1. Convert foo.eps to PDF by epstopdf foo.eps
2. When you insert the figure in LyX, do not write the file
extension: For example, when inseting the file foo.eps,
you need to write foo in figure dialog.
Note: In 1.2.0 it will be possible to use the new insetgraphics
for inserting various kinds of images, and it will handle
all the necessary transformations. A semi-functional insetgraphics
exist it in 1.1.6. To use it, type M-x graphics-insert.
3.3.6.4 Why doesn't the \boldsymbol{} command work when I use pslatex?
The Postscript® fonts do not have a bold symbol font. The
solution is to use the \pmb{} (poor man's bold) command.
It is possible to redefine the \boldsymbol command to use
\pmb by putting
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\pmb{#1}}
in the preamble.
3.3.6.5 Is it possible to do write latex code which is processed
only when running pdfLaTeX?
Yes. Here is an example:
\newif \ifpdf
\ifx \pdfoutput \undefined
\pdffalse
\else
\pdftrue
\fi
\ifpdf
\pdfinfo { /Author (your name and e-mail address)
/Title (official title -- i.e., title element)
/Subject (one line description of the document)
}
\pdfcatalog { /PageMode (/UseNone)
}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\else
\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

This happens if you created the citation with lyx 1.1.6/1.1.6fix1.
Citations created with 1.1.6fix2 will be OK.
