'-export' does not use the GUI. Unfortunately the latex log-files are created in a temp directory which is deleted afterwards. So, to see this log file, you are forced to export from inside a lyx session File->Export->PDF (pdflatex) and then use Document->Latex Log to examine the latex output.

I was trying to export documents (LyX > PDF) on the command line: C:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin\LyX.exe" input.lyx --export pdf This did not work, LyX exits immediately producing a PDF or printing anything on the console. It also does not start the GUI. So I tried the help: C:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin\LyX.exe" -export pdf This also printed nothing; this was the problem I reported because I thought it made sense to report the simplest possible problem. However, my end goal is to export LyX documents to PDF and TeX from the command line. Sorry about the confusion. Regards, Pierre.
