I found that I needed to remove this from the class options
nopsheader Have to go back to the powerdot manual and see what that does, but apparenty it has to be removed to get a landscape .pdf, at least for me. --- On Thu, 2/19/09, Les Denham <lden...@hal-pc.org> wrote: From: Les Denham <lden...@hal-pc.org> Subject: Re: Trouble getting a powerdot output in landscape To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Date: Thursday, February 19, 2009, 3:19 PM -----Inline Attachment Follows----- On Thursday 19 February 2009, Robert Orr wrote: > Hi list, > > Has anyone had trouble getting a powerdot doc to create a landscape .pdf? > > I just upgraded to 1.6.1 and re-installed everything (miktex, gv, gs, > jabref,etc) but now my powerdot .lyx files display portrait instead of > landscape in the .pdf output. using ps2pdf to generate it. > > I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. Anyone have idea or maybe > experience with such a problem? I had something the same happen when I upgraded to 1.6.1, but I can't remember exactly what the problem was. Some things to check: Under Document>Settings>Document Class make sure you have "display=slidesnotes" (or something similar) in the Class Options Under Document>Settings>Page Layout select Landscape Under Document>Settings>Page Format select Letter (Default or A4 will give portrait PDF file, even if you select Landscape: Default changes the aspect ratio to fit Portrait, and A4 trims the right side to fit Portrait). The last one is probably your problem. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
