Dear LyX-specialists
All discussed files can be achieved via this 
link<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DYSfDxvhrYpgdYSGBZfnzkCHcSUT_Xdn/view?usp=sharing>.
I try to combine newpax with LyX, since I have a lot of powerpoints, 
transformed to pdfs, that I want to import in LyX. Those powerpoint-pdfs have a 
lot of hyperlinks in them, that I would like to function also in the 
LyX-output. I add 3 such pdf's with hyperlinks in them:

  *
doc-input2.pdf from the documentation that ships with newpax, with a lot of 
links in it.
  *
bestandmetlinkvanuitLyX.pdf, that I created myself with LyX, it has a simple 
hyperlink to www.google.be in it.
  *
4_2.pdf, created with powerpoint, with a lot of hyperlinks in it, to my own 
video material that I use  for my teaching.

When I don't use LyX at all, but MikTeX, everything works fine:

  *
step1: I run the file extract-newpax.tex, using LuaLaTeX. This creates the 3 
necessary .newpax files. I add them for completeness, but you can reproduce 
them yourself if you want.
  *
step2: I run use-newpax.tex, using pdf-LaTeX, that produces a pdf where all the 
links work just fine. Notice that on page 2, the long text also has a 
hyperlink, and on page 3 the numbers 1, 2 and 3 also have links. Everything 
seems to function as expected, even the links to my video's in the last part. I 
renamed the result to "use-newpax MikTeX.pdf", but you can recreate it yourself 
if you like.

But I would like to do step 2 using LyX, since I actually prefer using LyX 
instead of MikTeX to create my documents. I try to do this by simply (or 
"bravely?") importing the file use-newpax.tex into a LyX file, I also add the 
result of that (use-newpax.lyx). When I simply run that file in LyX, I get a 
pdf where only a few links in doc-input2 seem to work. The link behind the 
large text on p2 doesn't work anymore, also the links on p3 behind the numbers 
1,2,3 don't function anymore. But the ones directing to the LaTeX project DO 
work. All the links in my own pdfs (bestandmetlinkvanuitLyX and 4_2) don't 
work. I renamed the output to "use-newpax LyX.pdf", but again, you can recreate 
it yourself probably).

Two questions:

  *
 Since some links do work using LyX instead of MikTeX for step 2: how can I 
make all the links work using LyX? Why don't they all work?
  *
(not so important, but probably interesting) Is it possible to perform step 1 
using LyX? And or maybe combining step 1 and 2 in one LyX file?
