Hi all, I downloaded pst-pdf.zip from CTAN, unzipped it, and read the README, which to me made no sense and referenced a bunch of files that weren't contained in the zip.
So I put the pst-pdf.sty into directory /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pst-pdf, ran texhash, put \usepackage{pst-pdf} into my lyx file, and View->PDF(pdflatex). It gave me 5 identical errors at the top of the file: ============================= Illegal parameter number in definition of \next. \begin{document} You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##. ============================= I know that it found pst-pdf.sty, because when I changed the filename to pst-pdfz within the \usepackage, the error changed to a not-found error. Just for fun, before \usepackage{pst-pdf} I put \usepackage{pstricks}, but that had no effect on the symptom. I'm thinking that if I can get pst-pdf.sty to work, it might yield the frontmatter/mainmatter page numbering break I need in the PDF, but given the existing pst-pdf documentation I can't even get to first base. Has anyone successfully used pst-pdf, and if so, what did you do differently from me?
