Make sure you've installed a current Ghostscript release (should be 5.50
or later)
Include the follwoing line in your LaTeX preamble (via Layout -> LaTeX
preamble):
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={what
you want},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref} <== one line
Export your file as a PS-file (File -> export -> as postscript)
Use the "ps2pdf"-tool to create a pdf-file, for example:
ps2pdf foo.ps foo.pdf
Enjoy your pdf-file (:-)

Stephan
