Lyx: No information for exporting the format PDF (pdflatex)

After lyx installation the system prompts me:
Optional dependencies for lyx
    texlive-latex3: pdf export
So I did install this package, but even then I couldn't find a way to export to pdf.
But not only pdf. PS and DVI is the same:
"No information for exporting the format DVI"
"No information for exporting the format Postscript"
Does anyone have any idea about what's wrong here, how to workaround or better, to fix this?
Thanks!

LyX works well (I'm using it every day right now), so there is a solution somewhere. Perhaps there is a missing dependency in the package.
Does LaTeX work by itself? i.e. Can you produce a simple DVI file from a minimal LaTeX file?
Start LyX from a terminal command line. Then click on Tools->Reconfigure. Does the output show anything really suspicious missing? You will see a lot of "no"s, but that is okay. You will definitely want to see a "yes" for latex, xdvi, and dvips. If you have never started LyX before, you pretty much have to do this the first time to set up your configuration before anything will work.
Try that much, then post again.

  • Is it possible to place a video into a circle frame for export as interactive PDF?

    I've been trying to figure out how to embed video files into a circle shape frame for export as interactive pdf. Every time I export the document as interactive PDF, the video frame reverts back to a rectangle shape. Basically what I'm attempting to do is embed a .gif like animation of a face (saved as mp4 because it's my understanding that PDF can't support gif files) in a circle frame that plays on document load when exported as interactive pdf. Any suggestions, bypasses, solutions would be much appreciated. 

    Correct! Good solution!
    But you missed a couple steps in your directions:
    (1) Make a rectangle filled with Paper color.
    (2) Make a circle filled with None (this will be the mask for the movie).
    (3) Move the circle over the rectangle. Select both and choose Object > Path > Make Compound Path. This creates a paper-color rectangle with a hole.
    (4) Position the rectangle-with-hole object over the movie to position the mask.
    (5) Use the Buttons and Forms panel to make that object into a button. Give it an action of playing the movie.
    (6) Choose File > Export > PDF (Interactive).
    It works because the button (which has interactivity) is atop another object which has interactivity (the movie).
    Brilliant!

    There's something else going on. When you search, the search box searches the Spotlight database that it created when indexing. It doesn't search the computer again. I suspect a hosed index. System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy->delete all volumes and readd them back in. That should reindex the computer and all attached HDs. BTW, by default there are many places Spotlight doesn't return information from, mainly the various Library folders and the System folder. If you want to find everything, do this:
    Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, click on Kind button, select Other, drill down to File invisible, check it, continue down to System files, check it, and click OK. Now, click on + button, click on the left-hand item and select System files and select are included, click on the plus button, click on the left-hand item and select File visibility and select visible or invisible, select File Name, save the search, drag its icon to the Dock, and use to search your entire Mac—currently starts with By Name, but Contents is available. I use this instead of CMD+F or CMD+spacebar for all searches.

  • Single keyboard shortcut needed for doing the Mail PDF

    I very frequently e-mail Word files (using Apple Mail) as PDFs. However, it takes two long steps (Print Command and pulldown to Mail PDF command). I want to have one single keyboard shortcut for doing the Mail PDF.workflow command from within Word and not have to use the mouse at all. Any ideas?

    Maybe you can script it with AppleScript Editor (in Applications)? I'm no AppleScript guru, but since you did not get any other response, I thought I'd mention it.
    Get to the point where you want to use your keyboard command. Hit Record in AppleScript editor. If those actions are scriptable (not everything is), they will show up in the window. Hit Stop when you are done. You should be able to save the script as an application.

  • Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for "Export book to PDF"? (Cannot find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.)

    I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for the "Export Book to PDF" command on the Books panel menu, but I simply can't find that command in Keyboard Shortcuts. After not finding it in what seemed the logical place (Keyboard Shortcuts > Product Area: Panel Menus > Book), I've looked through all the Product Areas listed on the dropdown menu -- but it seems I must be missing something.
    What do I need to do / where do I need to look to assign a keyboard shortcut for this command?

    Sorry, I agree that that is missing in action. I don't know of a workaround unless someone has written a script. Scripts can be called with keystrokes.

  • Best screen size for exporting slideshow as pdf

    Help please,I create slide shows for clients and export them in pdf format that are shown to numerours people but who are viewing the slide shows on different size displays ,what are the best settings both in silde show mode and creating and exporting as a PDF( height and width) so the images in the slide show will best and be maximized on all screens ?,size of the exported PDF is not a issue.
    Any help is welcomed,Thanks
    PS will there be any viewing difference ,if a slideshow created on a pc in Lightroom  and shown on a Mac?

    Having just tried to do the same thing, IMHO the Adobe PDF engine does not do the best job of resizing images. I exported at 1200x1600 and on my 1280x1024 screen there were noticeable jaggies on the text. The image itself was less noticeably degraded, but it was. For slide shows I use another product that does a much better job here, but you may not want to add another learning curve to your life.  I think you should go to the PDF forum and ask around for a solution.
    I can't speak to Mac/Pc issues.

  • What are the settings for exporting the best possible quality movies?

    I'm trying to export movies using imove 11, there are a ton of export setting, im wondering which are the best for exporting top quality movies? assuming file size doesnt matter. 

    ok so heres what the movie inspector says:
    Format: Photo- JPEG, 1024 x 576, Million Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 2channels, 44100 Hz
    FPS: 17.80
    Data Rate:9.63 mbit/s
    Current Size:1024 x 576 pixels (actual)
    So do i want to somehow duplicate these settings?
    The other thing I was thinking about was opening the file in Quicktime and using the "trim" feature to edit it down that way, although its not as neat.  Would this preserve the quality? And would it get rid of the excess footage (which is what I want)? Or would it like keep that footage attached to the file somehow?
    Thanks

  • Best practice for exporting the same disk to multiple guests?

    I've got a T4-4 with two service domains. Each service domain has access to the same pool of SAN disks.
    primary service domain has vds primary-vds0
    secondary service domain has vds secondary-vds0
    So far I've sucessfully built a single backend service for each SAN disk on each service domain and used the MP group operation to enable multipathing, i.e.
    ldm add-vds primary-vds0_a primary
    ldm add-vds secondary-vds0 secondary
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=target1 /dev/dsk/c0t6target1 target1@primary-vds0
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=target1 /dev/dsk/c0t6target1 target1@secondary-vds0
    ldm add-vdisk id=0 bootdisk target1@primary-vds0 guest_a
    Now, I have database datafile LUNS that I need to present to two guests at once since they're using Veritas clustering. As I understand it, what I have to present to each guest is a unique volume (volume@vds) export, and I can do it one of two ways:
    Build mutiple exports of the same disk on the same vds:
    ldm add-vds primary-vds0_a primary
    ldm add-vds secondary-vds0 secondary
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1a /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db1_server_a@primary-vds0
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1a /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db1_server_a@secondary-vds0
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1b /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db1_server_b@primary-vds0
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1b /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db1_server_b@secondary-vds0
    ldm add-vdisk id=6 database_disk db1_server_a@primary-vds0 guest_a
    ldm add-vdisk id=6 database_disk db1_server_b@primary-vds0 guest_b
    Build a separate vds for each guest domain, and then add the vdsdevs to each vds:
    ldm add-vds primary-vds-server_a primary
    ldm add-vds primary-vds-server_b primary
    ldm add-vds secondary-vds-server_a secondary
    ldm add-vds secondary-vds-server_b secondary
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1a /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db_disk@primary-vds-server_a
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1a /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db_disk@secondary-vds-server_a
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1b /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db_disk@primary-vds-server_b
    ldm add-vdsdev mpgroup=db1b /dev/dsk/c0c6target5 db_disk@secondary-vds-server_b
    ldm add-vdisk id=6 database_disk db_disk@primary-vds-server_a guest_a
    ldm add-vdisk id=6 database_disk db_disk@primary-vds-server_b guest_b
    The end result is the same, but is there any advantage (performance, configuration management, whatever) to doing it one way versus the other?
    Thanks!

    the standards for videoDVD are 720x480, and usually mpeg2 encoded..
    so, your HiDef project HAS to be 'downsampled' somehow..
    I would Export with Qucktime/apple intermediate => which is the 'format' your project is allready, and you avoid any useless 'inbetween encoding'..
    iDVD will 'swallow' this huge export file - don't mind: iDVD cares for length, not size.
    iDVD will then convert into DVD-standards..
    you can 'raise' quality, by using projects <60min - this sets iDVD automatically to highest technical possible bitrate
    hint: judge pic quality on a DVDplayer + TV.. not on your computer (DVDs are meant for TVdelivery)

  • SWF files in InDesign for export as Interactive PDF

    I am creating an interactive PDF file which contains a multi-state slide show with navigation buttons that I created in InDesign. Since that will not display and "work" in an interactive PDF I exported a .swf file of the slide show to place in the final InDesign page layout. The interactive PDF works just fine when viewed in Acrobat, but the .swf file of the slide show moves around and changes scale depending on the view scale in Acrobat so that it no longer stays where it was intended in the InDesign layout. I suspect that I exported the .swf slide show from the InDesign file incorrectly but I can't figure out what the peoblem is.

    What version of InDesign? Is it fully patched?
    There was a bug in the initial release of CS5 that caused this type of behavior but it was fixed in a dot release.

  • Need information for all the Fields on Infotype 94.

    Hi all,
    I have a question on Infotype 94 which holds all the information  of I - 9 form.  I would like to know which field goes with what details when we are trying to take details from I - 9 Form. I need a example how would it look for a Alien authorized worker and a permanent Resident and US citizen.
    Please help me out in this issue.
    Thank you.

    Residence Status (Infotype 0094)   
    Definition
    Infotype 0094 allows you to store information regarding an employeeu2019s residence status, as well as information regarding the compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which requires every employer verify that each person hired can prove via documents their identity, and their eligibility for employment.
    Structure
    This infotype is divided into two parts: the personal identification information section (the residence permit) and the employment verification section (the work permit).
    Personal identification
    This section stores the information for personal identification. The only field which is required on this infotype is Residence status. 
    The ID type field describes the type of documentation the employee presents to the company. You can also enter data for the issuing authority.
    The ID number is the number of the document provided by the employee to the company.  The Issuing date is the date on which the personal identification document was issued to the employee. This date must be the same as or later than the employeeu2019s date of birth.
    Lastly, the ID expiry date field is the date that the provided identification expires.
    If the expiration date is filled, and there is a value of A (Alien) in theResidence status field, then this transaction will automatically generate a transaction to store a deadline for the expiration of the work permit (infotype 0019, subtype 71).
    Employment verification
    This section stores the information for employment verification. The Work permit field stores the type of work permit. The Work permit number field stores the number of the document provided by the employee to establish work eligibility.
    The date issued and the issuing authority are also stored. The Expiry of work perm. field stores the date on which work eligibility expires. This field should only be filled for those employees who are not citizens
