Hi all, I'm new to Lyx, and and some questions regarding how the layout looks after conversion to PDF.
Document -> Settings... is your friend.
I realize that a page number is added to the PDF file. How do I remove that?
If you have no other headers/footers beside the page number, you can change Document -> Settings... -> Page layout -> Page style to 'empty'. This will suppress numbering almost everywhere, one exception being a title page. If your document has a title page, you will need to insert '\thispagestyle{empty}' (without the quotes) in ERT somewhere in the text of the title page. (To get an ERT inset, click the 'TeX' button on the toolbar.)
Alternatively, if you have headers/footers you want to keep, and just need to eliminate the page number, you can try adding the line '\renewcommand\thepage{}' to Document -> Settings... -> LaTeX preamble. Note that if your document puts punctuation around the page number (for instance, -2-), this won't work -- you'll lose the page number but still have the punctuation.
Is there a way to reduce the margins in the PDF file? I'm forced to write some of my expressions on the second line because the left and right margins are too narrow.
Document -> Settings... -> Page Margins: deselect 'Default Margins' and fill in the margins you want.
Lastly, is there a way to increase the font size of the text/symbols in the PDF file?
Document -> Settings... -> Fonts -> Base Size. /Paul
