Here is how exported a tex file for an AIP journal. It was easier than I thought it would be--thanks Lyx developers!
1. Put Lyx file same directory as the graphics files.Modify the graphics file addresses in the Lyx file if you, like me, have them in a separate directory while writing the manuscript. Make sure the Lyx file works by previewing the pdf. 2. Do a File|export|pdflatex. 3. I think this automatically converts the graphics files to pdf, which are needed for the .tex file to work. If not, try running pdflatex from the DOS command line. It should be in the system path from your Lyx installation. 4. The pdflatex creates several files in the directory including one with a .bbl extension. Open that one with a text editor like Notepad and select all of it and copy to the clipboard. 5. Open the .tex file in the text editor, scroll to the end and look for the two lines starting with "bibfiles ..." and "options ..." 6. delete those lines and paste in the contents of the .bbl file in their place. Save the modified .tex file That's it. The journal website seems to accept the file. additional notes: The journal website converts my .eps graphics files to .pdf so I did not have to upload them.
