In lyxrc there's a section for Export with this example: #\custom_export_command "ps2pdf '$$FName' `basename '$$FName' .ps_tmp`.pdf"
I want to make a pdf file, and having epstopdf on my system, I've been printing to ps, then doing: epstopdf --filter <xxx.ps >xxx.pdf Following the lyxrc example, I tried making the custom command as: \custom_export_command "epstopdf -f -o=`basename '$$FName'`.pdf" and several other variations on that form, but no pdf file results. I do get a .ps_tmp file and a very small .ps_tmp.pdf file in /tmp/lyx_tmp.../lyx_buf... but I was hoping for a pdf file in my working directory. Since I don't have ".ps_tmp" in my custom_export definition, I guess the suffix must be wired in somewhere. Can someone translate that example? I'm assuming "`basename '$$FName'`" means "xxx" in my little example above, but since I get no output, I'm probably assuming wrong. FWIW, I'm using lyx1.1.5. TIA, Jim
