I'm having trouble exporting LyX output to arXiv.org, who apparently

I just went through this myself (although my co-authors insisted on
using TeX directly). See http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.0289 . But they have
accepted LyX-generated LaTeX from me in the past. They don't want pdf
files that have been generated by TeX; they can determine that by
(usually) the beginning of the pdf file and then dump it back to you.
This has to do with fonts; some fonts don't display pdf well on all
possible machines.
The only LYX output
option that gets through arXiv's automated filter is html, which then
entails hand editing to make presentable.
I would not consider that reasonable. Try exporting to plain LaTeX.
That should work. Submit diagrams as separate files. Submit
bibliographies generated by bibtex by running latex, then bibtex. Also,
make sure all necessary files are found from the same directory.
Yet I can find only one
mention of this on Google (old and doesn't work any more). Surely some
LyX user must know the magic incantations to make Tex output that
arXiv.org will accept!
The easiest is if you don't have a separate bibtex file, and if you have
no diagrams. Then the export to plain LaTeX should be all they need.
If it doesn't work, contact me off-list and I will try to help.
