Re: I cannot compile to a pdf

[Cameron Stone]

Have you tried all three pdf export methods?

Can you export to postscript or dvi? If you can export to either of them
you can easily convert it to pdf.

Good luck.

Isn't there something strange at the 53th page. Look for possible
sources of error there.

Otherwise try to compile the document from the command line and look for
error messages (Export-Latex plain and then run latex).

Is there anything suspicious (warnings or errors) in Document-Latex Log 
(there probably is)?


Make a copy of your LyX file, and then in that copy, delete big parts of 
 the document, export to PDF, see if it works, put the part back in 
(undo), delete a smaller part, ... Thus, trying to narrow down where the

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.

Nina,
you might have solved your problem in the meantime. If not, just one thought: 
What happens, if you take out the Bibliography at the end of you document and 
run it again? If a reference is the offending part, it should run. Are you 
incidently using koma-script and two column page style? I have often problems 
with it, but do get a latex-log output of this kind
pdftex error
\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pd

The error is not easy to find, have a look at:

Re: I cannot compile to a pdf

[NinaNutz]

Thank you everyone. I found the error. Really I needed a deep breath. The
problem was in the figures. When I inserted the figures (I had a lot of pair of
figures (subfigures) like floating) I used the lyx 1.44 and I couldn't center
all the figures editing the preamble, so I marked every pairs of figures and I
centered with the corresponding button.

Then I installed the new versions and in the version 1.6.1 it appeared a latex
command before and after these figures. I don't know exactly why, some of these
figures didn't work and the export to pdf stopped without any mistake. I suspect
that the problem was in how I selected the figures to center it, because a few
of them worked and other one didn't...
