For enhanced the possibilities of pdflatex using transitions effects
between pages and pauses I use ppower4 postprocessor
(http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/ppower4/readme.html)
and I have created a foiltex-based layout and a transitions.inc files in
order to support the capabilities of ppower4. You can find one example,
the layout, and the inc files at
http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/Presentation.tgz
and the resulting pdf file at
http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/presentation.pdf
In the tgz file you can also find a lyx2pdf script (BTW it would be nice
to include a -pp4 option in Steffen Evers' lyx2pdf script ) to run all
the stuff, you must execute:
# lyx2pdf -pp4 presentation
and that's all.
It is presumed that ppower4, and a recent java distribution, are
installed.
You can see a more mathematical oriented pdf example at
