Maybe this is asking too much, but I was wondering if it was possible to
generate a separate PDF file for each chapter and bibliography. Right now I
have each one of my chapters in a separate lyx file as well as a separate
lyx file for the bibtex references. I know its possible to compile each
separate file into a single master lyx file, but I am more interested in
splitting them up when I convert them to PDFs. Is it possible to keep all
the chapters in one master file then just do the "splitting" when I create
the PDFs?
J.D.
This may not be the solution you wanted, but you can generate a single
PDF file the usual way and then hack it apart using a tools such as PDF
Split and Merge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/). The only
catch that I can see would be that the page numbers would not restart at
1 in each document. Well, one other: you would have to specify the page
numbers at which to split (rather than splitting automatically at
chapter end).
In LyX, you could put each chapter in a separate branch, then deactivate
all of them, activate one at a time and export. Between those two, I
tend to think the LyX branch approach would be more tedious, but perhaps
not.
