Impressive is, well, impressive. Other than benefiting from left/right mouse clicks to go to next/prev slide, you get many additional features: Page transitions, Overview screen, Highlight boxes, Spotlight effect, zooming, a time tracker, etc. (To some these would be useless eye-candy, to others genuinely useful features. It may well depend on the specific presentation, audience and setting.) There is also an open ticket [3] that, when fixed (patch available), would improve the process: LyX -> Beamer -> Impressive.

Oh, and make absolutely sure---and this is a nasty pitfall since there
is no obvious reason for this happening---that you keep your 'PDF
page' in a Standard environment and default justified paragraph. If
you change the justification to 'center' then expect stray blank
pages.

Yes. At any point you want to include a PDF page as external material,
after the last frame insert
\lyxframeend{}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}
as ERT, or use the environment 'EndFrame' instead of the
\lyxframeend{}. Then include as many Insert > File > Material > PDF as
you wish. When you're done with the PDF pages, insert 'BeginFrame' as
usual. If your PDF pages are not scaled up as you were expecting, then
look into the 'pdfpages' docs and specifically the options for
'\includepdf': you can specify these by clicking on the PDF page and
going to the 'LaTeX and LyX options'.
It may be worth documenting the above in EmbeddedObjects.lyx section

Actually, I would look for additional Documentation in a "Documentation" section. Clicking on "Documentation" on a homepage, I usually expect a collection of Docs and not just one big document.

Please try the attached patch. It was made against the lyx 1.3.x cvs
sources so you may need to apply it 'by hand' to your own copy of
lyx-1.3.3. I have not tested it, but can confirm that it does compile
and that it does appear to 'do the right thing'. Ie, there is an
obvious ordering bug in the source.
Please tell us whether the patch fixes the problem.
Kind regards,

Hallo, if nirmal does agree, I can try a German translation of this nice presentation (but with his original English Lyx-version screeshots). Might be, that we can have it shorter than in a few years ;-) Oh sure... that would be great Bernhard... thanks!

I guess there are >= 1 people presenting LyX in a presentation (or not?). I think this stuff is called advocacy. And latex-beamer[1] support would be nice (though not trivial...)

Try the stuff in this catalog, it's smaller (i.e. less errors)

and then maybe you can say what errors it report when you do View->PDF

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.

I've recently created a presentation using pdfscreen and TeXPower. The result PDF file is viewed using Acrobat reader in full screen mode, and the result is like a powerpoint presentation (i.e. I didn't create transparencies). I've put a small example at http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/pdfscreen.tar.gz It contains slightly modified version of pdfscreen.sty, and a pdfscreen.layout file.

First, if you use ps2pdf, you should use gs version 6.0 (not 5.x)
Second, if you use the EC fonts (T1 font encoding),
you should add \usepackage{ae,aecompl} to the preamble.

BTW, it may be better to use pdflatex directly for doing presentations.
Look for example at the pdfslide package or the PPower4 post-processor.

For now, I'd suggest using pstill instead of ps2pdf (sorry, Peter). http://www.this.net/~frank/pstill.html I generate 40 - 100 foils every week, and this has always worked very well for me. I've never had any problem using our standard T1 font set (Sabon, Gill Sans, mathptm) with this approach either.

Don't know for math, but helvetica adobe should be used for text fonts:

scale the graphs to the final size using convert, like

I suppose you need pdf to have it full screen, I have a perl script here
which rewrites the viewgraphs as 4/3 (i.e. 29x21 PORTRAIT).
If you need it let me know.

I don't know about Foils, but here it goes with seminar: - a4paper+landscape produces 21x29.7 slide ready for printing, but not for viewing on a 4/3 screen - however ghosview is cute enough to undertand whats going on and rotate the paper; - Acrobat reader is not cute and insists upon viewing as a4paper like the printer (and I didnt find any Rotate button...) So what you need (to use acrobat with the videoprojector) is a portait sized as 29.7x21, which is NOT a standard paper format. Fixing this size with geometry works fine with a plain document, but I was not able to make it work with a seminar-derived class... So ghostview should do it if you stick to a4/landscape. IMHO, there should be a clean solution to this in the future, most of the viewgraphs will never be printed in a4 or the like: as I mentioned, 4/3 (and perhaps 16/9 :-) should be present as a standard paper format along with a4, letter, etc. This is clearly a LaTeX issue.
