Manage lyx path
Hello, I'm using an hacked french version of prettyref. But I want to use the original version too. Then, before 1.3.3 (or 1.3.4) I could put my prettyref.sty into the directory of my document. Unfortunately, since 1.3.3 (or 1.3.4), lyx is unable to search .sty and .cls into the current directory and I have to copy prettyref.sty into the lyx_tmpbuf0 : ( Is there a way to tell LyX copying .sty of the current path ?

pdf converter
Dear all, Does it exist a pdf to lyx converter (optionally pdf to latex) ? Actually, some pdf to text converters exist, like pstotext. But I'm wondering if some programs could extract also formats or even tables from a pdf file. I must confess I'm not quite sure what type of information is stored in a pdf file ! So I hope my question is not too naive ! Nicolas
