Hello, trying to include a pdf file in my LyX document.
This is Lyx 1.3.7-3 on Windows.
I have in my preamble:
\usepackage{pdfpages}
Then in the document ERT:
\includepdf{testfile.pdf}
When I export to pdflatex, a pdf is created but it does not have the
included file.
Interesting. I need to put an absolute path in the ERT (for instance,
\includepdf{/temp/testfile.pdf}) in order to get View->PDF (pdflatex)
or File->Export->PDF (pdflatex) to work at all; otherwise I get a
latex error (can't find the included file), even if the included file
sits in the same directory as the LyX document. On the other hand, if
I export to LaTeX and compile outside LyX, it works without the path.
Any advice or working lyx files would be greatly appreciated.
1. Take a look at the log file (View->LaTeX Log file) and see if
anything informative shows up.
2. Export to LaTeX, run pdflatex from a command prompt, and see if you
get a valid result.
3. (Long shot) make sure that there is not a file with the right name
but zero byte length sitting around where pdflatex might grab it.

Paul.
Thank you for the information, both points 1 and 2 were helpful in
tracking down the issue.
1. The log file suggests that LyX cannot find the file.
2. Running pdflatex from the MSYS window on the exported .tex file does
work. So I have a solution.
Thanks again.
Eric
Cool. That sounds like the same problem (though not precisely the same
symptoms) that I saw. You might try putting a full path to the PDF file
in the \includepdf command, and see if that works. Meanwhile, I'll post
this to bugzilla so the developers are aware of it.
