Hello
I am trying to include a pdf file in a LyX document.
I have the TeX-Live package installed in my computer. If I understand
correctly, it includes pdfpages.
I put the phrase "\usepackage{pdfpages}" in the LateX preamble for the
document.
Afterwards, I wrote in ERT: \includepdf[pages=1-11]{filename.pdf}
The filename.pdf is saved in the same folder as the LyX document.
Now, when I try to view the document as dvi, I get the error message:
Package pdfpages Error:You produce DVI output but pdf output
Undefined control sequence.
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $.
Missing $ inserted.
When I try to produce a pdf output, I get the error message:
LyX: Cannot view file
File does not exist:
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir21859Tr9iSI/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile.pdf
What is wrong ?
Is there an easy way to insert the pdf file into the LyX document ?
Please, try to give a simple and specific answer as I am new to LyX, as well
as to LaTeX .
I use Ubuntu Feisty (quite new to linux as well).
Thanks
Eli
You might try putting an absolute path to the PDF file in the ERT entry.
Also, as far as I know, only pdflatex works with pdfpages. When I try
to view DVI, I get no error message, but the DVI file has blank pages
where the inserted pages should go. That in turn means that dvipdfm
does the same thing trying to produce PDF output. I also get blank
pages with ps2pdf.
