The translated document has 32 vs. 30 pages and floats appear at totally

NatBib

[Lars Olesen]

I have just started using Lyx and Latex and I'm thrilled. However, I
have a problem with my references. On the screen there is no problem,
I can use NatBib to show the references as I please, but when I print
it out it replaces it with a reference number to the reference list.
That is a problem, if I want to write something like this:

Dear All:
I have Lyx 1.3.3 installed on Windows XP. I changed
the viewer of pdf to Acrobat, which is the .exe name

by using View-pdf (or pdflatex), the acrobat started
normally but with the following message:
There was an error opening this document. The file
does not exist.
This can happen for at least a couple of reasons.  One, of course, is 
that LyX in fact failed to generate the PDF file.  To check this, repeat 
the process to the point where you get this error message, then look in 
your temp directory (Edit-Preferences-Paths-Use temp directory). 
There should be a folder with a long name (lyx_tmpdir...), containing a 
subfolder, containing (hopefully) assorted files relating to your 
document, including the PDF file (if it was produced).  If you find it 
there, the problem likely lies outside LyX.

The other way to encounter this message is to attempt View-PDF when 
Acrobat is already open.  In that case, LyX will actually generate the 
PDF file (in the temp directory), but Acrobat will be unable to open it 
 at LyX's command.  This is a Windows-only phenomenon.  If it occurs, 
you can use the Acrobat File-Open menu to navigate to LyX's temp 
directory and load the PDF manually.  It's probably more convenient, 
though, to make sure that Acrobat is closed before using View-PDF.
Then I tried to export-PDF, nothing shows up. No pdf
generated in my working directory. 
Check Edit-Preferences-Converters. To use View-PDF, you need a chain 
of conversions defined that gets you from LaTeX to PDF.  On my machine, 
the chain is LaTeX-DVI, DVI-Postscript, Postscript-PDF and the 
converters are latex $$i, dvips -o $$o $$i, and ps2pdf13 $$i 
respectively.  I'm pretty sure you have a chain defined; otherwise PDF 
should not appear as an option in the View menu.  If this is the chain 
you are using, pay particularly close attention to the last step.  I'm 
not positive, but I seem to recall that when LyX installed it used a 
different command line (don't recall exactly what) that did not work 
under Windows.  I think the CompatibilityLevel switch is the culprit, 
but I won't swear to it.
I guess it is the directory problem.
I don't think so; more likely it's the command line for the 
Postscript-PDF conversion step.

Incidentally, have you tried View-PDF (dvipdfm) or View-PDF 
(pdflatex)?  If either of those works, it raises the likelihood that the 
problem is with the Postscript-PDF converter.

 But how can I set
so that the pdf is generated in the current directory

you are comparing two different things, pslatex has nothing
to do with latin modern fonts.

see above, when a user wants times you can say take lm fonts.

Keyboard shortcut for definition

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

Could someone please tell me whether it is possible to select the
definition layout through a keyboard shortcut? I have already searched
LyX Wiki site, but I can only find shortcuts for section, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I don't understand why you can't do that. That is exactly what you can 
do when using NatBib. Have you got an old version of LyX?

Yes it is.

The University of Colorado's thesis class in Latex has a matching lyx layout
file (one of the early lyx team members was a grad student in my department --
physics).  I benefited greatly from this, since the mechanics of writing the
actual manuscript and handling the bibliography were all handled beautifully
by Lyx+pybliographic, along with a tiny custom script I wrote (a few lines of
python) to retrieve bibtex records from the SPIRES database based on ArXiV.org
numbers.  It was really a joy of a system to use (and I was using lyx
1.1.something with Xforms, not today's beautiful QT-based 1.3.x :)

Best,

If you've set the working directory in LyX's preferences and the pdf is 
also not created at least in LyX's \temp directory, start LyX from the 
command line with:

lyx -dbg 3
LyX will start with a console window, that shows additional 
informations. To identify the problem, export a test file by 
Export(pdflatex) and look what happens in the console window.

regards Uwe
p.s. You can also set permissions for the working directory to "everybody".

Re: Can not view PDF: file does not exist (Windows Lyx)

[Paul A. Rubin]

For future reference, one should start a new thread with a new question, 
rather than replying to an existing thread and changing the subject line.

Dear All:
I have Lyx 1.3.3 installed on Windows XP. I changed
the viewer of pdf to "Acrobat", which is the .exe name
of my Adobe Acrobat 5.0. When I tried to see the pdf
by using View->pdf (or pdflatex), the acrobat started
normally but with the following message:
"There was an error opening this document. The file
does not exist."
This can happen for at least a couple of reasons.  One, of course, is 
that LyX in fact failed to generate the PDF file.  To check this, repeat 
the process to the point where you get this error message, then look in 
your temp directory (Edit->Preferences->Paths->Use temp directory). 
There should be a folder with a long name (lyx_tmpdir...), containing a 
subfolder, containing (hopefully) assorted files relating to your 
document, including the PDF file (if it was produced).  If you find it 
there, the problem likely lies outside LyX.

The other way to encounter this message is to attempt View->PDF when 
Acrobat is already open.  In that case, LyX will actually generate the 
PDF file (in the temp directory), but Acrobat will be unable to open it 
 at LyX's command.  This is a Windows-only phenomenon.  If it occurs, 
you can use the Acrobat File->Open menu to navigate to LyX's temp 
directory and load the PDF manually.  It's probably more convenient, 
though, to make sure that Acrobat is closed before using View->PDF.
Then I tried to export->PDF, nothing shows up. No pdf
generated in my working directory. 
Check Edit->Preferences->Converters. To use View->PDF, you need a chain 
of conversions defined that gets you from LaTeX to PDF.  On my machine, 
the chain is LaTeX->DVI, DVI->Postscript, Postscript->PDF and the 
converters are latex $$i, dvips -o $$o $$i, and ps2pdf13 $$i 
respectively.  I'm pretty sure you have a chain defined; otherwise PDF 
should not appear as an option in the View menu.  If this is the chain 
you are using, pay particularly close attention to the last step.  I'm 
not positive, but I seem to recall that when LyX installed it used a 
different command line (don't recall exactly what) that did not work 
under Windows.  I think the CompatibilityLevel switch is the culprit, 
but I won't swear to it.
I guess it is the directory problem.
I don't think so; more likely it's the command line for the 
Postscript->PDF conversion step.

Incidentally, have you tried View->PDF (dvipdfm) or View->PDF 
(pdflatex)?  If either of those works, it raises the likelihood that the 
problem is with the Postscript->PDF converter.

 But how can I set
so that the pdf is generated in the current directory
(with the lyx file)?
Anyone can help me with this?
Thanks a lot!
Yours Jianwei
