I'm generating a lot of slide shows for my statistics class. Sometimes I forget to run the followup program to create a compressed version of the presentation. It want to make that automatic.[1]
When I export a document in pdf from a Beamer slides project, I also want this shell program to run. It automatically creates another pdf document that is 4 slides on one page. #!/bin/bash pdfnup --nup 2x2 --suffix '2x2' --frame true --batch $1 pdfnup is from package called "pdfjam" on Debian Linux. The output is awesome, quick, convenient. I am reading the LyX customization manual about copiers, but I just can't understand it! I don't want to destroy the existing copy behavior that writes the PDF output to the document folder, I just want that additional command to run. But I don't want this 2x2 PDF type for all PDF I create, just for the Beamer slide projects. Thanks in advance. [1] I've got example output here, in case you want to see what I mean: http://pj.freefaculty.org/guides/stat/Regression/ElementaryOLS I just upload the full working directory, let the students take the source code or the pdf output, or the 2x2 pdf output. -- Paul E.
