I'm not sure if it's relevant, but note that I use knitr inside the appendix section in the child documents. I don't know any way to do that via the appendix command itself. You could write some new macro that collects appendices somehow, but that sounds complicated. Richard

I can't afford that issue. Sorry, it should read: It is not sure - at least STF did *not* say so - the PDF file Adobe Acrobat Reader didn't display was produced by LyX. And in case it came from LyX then it's a problem with the LaTeX-PDF-writer tools used by LyX. So, probably it will be difficult to solve this issue for LyX developers.

Re: Newbie question: which pdf reader to use with Windows 8.1?
Actually, also, regarding the corruption. That should also be posted on the Lyx forum as a case study to determine why Adobe treats it as corrupted. There is an ISO standard for Adobe PDF files. it is possible that Adobe is much less flexible about their standard than other browsers. It is also possible that there is a bug with lyx if this occurs. BTW, I have no affiliation with Adobe at all but everyone uses it and if I don't use it, I can easily run into problems where it will view in one browser but not in others. I can't afford that issue. ~Ben On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 10:31 AM, Benedict Holland < benedict.m.holl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Be very careful when viewing Beamer presentations with anything other than > Adobe.

Re: Newbie question: which pdf reader to use with Windows 8.1?
Be very careful when viewing Beamer presentations with anything other than Adobe. I have found that the presentations never display correctly and when giving a presentation, it is almost a guarantee that you will be presenting on Adobe. If you are not using Beamer, anything else should work. I stick with Adobe because it is the standard. If potential problems occur, I might have to switch but for now, it seems better for me to deal with the issues than switch. ~Ben On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 11:53 PM, Ashok wrote: > Thanks a lot, folks.
