Guys
Thanks for your assistance re the fonts. I think it's easier to stick with the
\usepackage{pslatex} to overcome the rendering of the fonts in Acroread.
I've attached the pdfslide.lyx and pdfslide.layout.
The resulting PDF file can be found at
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~bscazz/pdfslide.pdf
I really hate ERT but I'm not sure how far to take the command declarations
specific to pdfslide in the .layout file so I've left a couple out. Please
take a look at both files and let me know how to improve them.
Regards
Ben

C.V Radhakrishnan.
Some slight modifications have been made in the presentation.
To generate a pfd file you will need to export as tex.
Then run pdflatex on the output file.
pdflatex may need to be run twice to get the no of pages correct.

.,
\latex latex

\latex default
and
\latex latex

\latex default
.
For the first option to work smoothly, you need to have the
\latex latex
\backslash
verb+contnav+
\latex default
fonts installed in your TeX system to have the navigation buttons in the
side panel.
This font is part of the ConTeXt macro package.
Navigation buttons from top to bottom correspond to first page, previous
page, next page, last page, go back, go forward and close file respectively.
The button below the pine tree indicate the current slide number and clicking
at it will open you the Acrobat window to go to a particular slide.
\layout Standard
TeXLive4 has
\latex latex

so that it will be available to the pdfTeX.

If
\latex latex
\backslash

\latex default
font is not available in your TeX distribution, you can choose the option
\latex latex

There is a configuration file,
\latex latex

\latex default
in which you can change all the font attributes for caption, title, author,
address, notes, all section level headings, change the side panel color,
button color, button disabled color, button background, button shadow color
and button text (for languages other than English).
\layout Standard
If you don't want
\latex latex

\latex default
to read the configuration file, you can invoke
\latex latex

as an option to the package loading command.
