launching pdflatex for two times

[Wei-Dong Lian]

hi everyone,

I am trying the tikz/pgf for the flying-arrows, see
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/beamer-arrows/

The question is I need to invoke pdflatex two times. I have tried if I did
it by pdflatex main.tex; pdflatex main.tex two times.
It worked well. How can we launch pdflatex for two times when compling lyx
to pdf?

Thanks.

Weidong

I don't know if this applies to your case, but check this thread [1].

One easy way to trick LyX into compiling twice is to compile once, get
the wrong results, add a space anywhere in the document to make LyX
think that it has changed, and compile the document again. This
practically means two pdflatex runs. This usually works for me.
