I put the phrase "\usepackage{pdfpages}" in the LateX preamble for the document. Afterwards, I wrote in ERT: \includepdf[pages=1-11]{filename.pdf} The filename.pdf is saved in the same folder as the LyX document. Now, when I try to view the document as dvi, I get the error message: Package pdfpages Error:You produce DVI output but pdf output Undefined control sequence. Missing $ inserted Extra }, or forgotten $. Missing $ inserted. When I try to produce a pdf output, I get the error message: LyX: Cannot view file File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir21859Tr9iSI/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile.pdf What is wrong ? Is there an easy way to insert the pdf file into the LyX document ? Please, try to give a simple and specific answer as I am new to LyX, as well as to LaTeX . I use Ubuntu Feisty (quite new to linux as well). Thanks Eli You might try putting an absolute path to the PDF file in the ERT entry. Also, as far as I know, only pdflatex works with pdfpages. When I try to view DVI, I get no error message, but the DVI file has blank pages where the inserted pages should go. That in turn means that dvipdfm does the same thing trying to produce PDF output. I also get blank pages with ps2pdf. /Paul

But, it did not change the error messages and did not produce the result. Is there an alternative to this pdfpages package ? Eli
RE: problem with pdfpages
Thanks I tried to remove the extension but it did not change the error messages. I'll keep trying. Is there an alternative to pdfpages that works with tetex istead of tex-live ?

So: \includepdf[pages=1-11]{filename}

I usually make the temp directory ( you can change it in the preferences) someplace close to where the actual document is.Copy and PAste the .pdf's you want to include into the temp directory. Then you should be able to produce output. Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
