Greek in Lyx

[Jörn Kobes]

Greeting to all folks,

I have a question: in which way can I write text in Lyx in 
Polutoniko (ancient) Greek? Normally, I write Greek with:

\usepackage[polutonikogreek,german]{babel}; but how in Lyx (1.4.1)?

Thanks for helpful informations,

Jörn

Equation numbering corresponding to section number

[Liu Feng]

Hi,Sir
I could not number equations like 5.1, 5.2 within
section 5.1 in Chapter 5. All eaqutions numbered just
start from (1),(2) in global way. How to number
eqaution according to the number of section or the
number of chapter.
BTW,I am using 'book' doc. class with lyx-1.4 in Win
XP

Method 1: Stick everything except the desired part in comments (and hope
this does not screw up the pagination, or leave cross-references
undefined).

Method 2: Make a PDF of the entire document, then use Ghostscript to
produce a PDF of selected pages, as in the following (which extracts
pages 3 through 5 inclusive from sourcefile.pdf):

gsc -dFirstPage=3 -dLastPage=5 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf
-dBATCH -dNOPAUSE sourcefile.pdf

Method 3: I use a PDF printer driver (PDFCreator) that, like most
printer drivers, can output selected pages.  So I can print the document
to it from Acrobat Reader and extract just the pages I want.


Method 4:

pdftk sourcefile.pdf cat 130-140 output test.pdf

You can find pdftk here:

http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/

It can do lots of other stuff, including merging pdfs, splitting pdfs,
reading, inserting and changing metadata, and lots more. I first heard about
it on this list.


May I suggest that you add these methods/tips to this page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF

Or, if this subject is complicated enought to deserve a page of it's own, 
how about creating this page

(I'm not happy with the page name, but that's life...)

Sure Christian,

I'm publishing an Ebook in PDF format. I want to discourage copying, but don't
want to do obnoxious DRM like not allowing printing, degrading printing, or
locking it to a specific computer.

So I do 2 things:

1) Print the customer's name in a footer at the bottom of the page (which is
why I asked before how to get a footer to print from paper edge to paper
edge). This discourages the customer from giving the PDF to his friends,
because it's his name on the book, and if it escapes into the wild, it's
obvious who did it. Now you and I probably know at least 3 ways to get rid of
that name, but your average joe doesn't.

2) In case it escapes into the wild and maybe someone altered the name in the
footer, I want a code inside the pdf that doesn't print. The easiest way I
know to do this is to make the code a metadata property with a key and a
value. The key will be a nonobvious string, and the value will look like
gibberish, but I can scan the PDF for the key, get the value, and relate it
back to my book sales.

So to add a key-value pair, you use the pdftk dump_data to write all metadata
to a text file, then append the new key and value to the text file, then
pdftk update_info to put back all the metadata, including the new key value
pair.

You can then use grep to get the line containing the key and value, and sed to
partially remove garbage, and my the listed C program to strip it down to
nothing but the value so it can be assigned to a variable in a script using
backticks or $(mycommand) syntax.

I hope this helps you understand what I was doing, but if you or anyone else
has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks

Hi all,

Is there a way I can have something in my LyX file (maybe a comment

If that's not possible, is there a way I can brand a PDF with a
number somehow? I have pdftk.

Thanks

SteveT


Here's how it's done, assuming you want to tweak org.pdf so it includes
metadata MYKEY=MYVALUE in the output PDF, tweaked.pdf:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf dump_data output mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoKey: MYKEY  mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoValue: MYVALUE  mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf update_info mymetadata.txt output
tweaked.pdf

You've now put metadata key MYKEY with value MYVALUE into tweaked.pdf.
You can quickly pull that data out with my check_pdf.sh script:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ./check_pdf.sh tweaked.pdf MYKEY
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

Here's the (bash script) code for check_pdf.sh, which I put in the public
domain and disclaim all warranty and liability:

#!/bin/bash
cat $1 | grep -a $2 | sed -e s/.*$2\s*// |
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe

format_pdf_metadata_value.exe simply grabs the value from the line
containing the key. It should work under Linux or Windows (or BSD, which
I assume would make it Mac compatible). Here is the C source code for
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe, which I put in the public domain and
disclaim all warranty and liability:

#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ord = getc(stdin);
int count = 0;

/* GO TO OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord != '('  count  20; count++, ord=getc(stdin));
if(count = 20) /* magic number, much bigger than needed */
{
fprintf(stderr, Value not found\n);
return(1);
}

/* GO PAST OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord == '('; ord=getc(stdin));

/* BLOW OFF LEADING NONPRINTABLES */
for(;((ord  0) || (ord  127)); ord = getc(stdin));

/* PRINT UP TO BUT NOT INCLUDING CLOSING PAREN */
/* DO NOT PRINT ALL THE NULL BYTES */
for(; ord != ')'; ord = getc(stdin))
if(ord != 0)
putc(ord, stdout);
return 0;

A newbie question, please?

[David Neeley]

As a newcomer to Lyx and to LaTex, I have a rather simple question
that is so far rather aggravating. Today, I wrote a letter using the
letter style template that shipped with Lyx (1.3.7 for Kubuntu Linux,
with teTeX also installed).

This was a business letter--and of course the template has an inside
address for the recipient. However, try as I might, I could *not* get
it to print the inside address at all. It was missing from the DVI
view and from all printable views (the various PostScript and PDF
options).

I trust there was something I should have known how to find and
adjust--but it doesn't seem to be part of the document properties
settings or paragraph properties settings either. I presume it must be
in the laTeX code?

Thanks for any kind words you can give to point me in the right
direction! I am buried in the various document files--but so far, this
appears to be missing from the Lyx User Guide, anyway.

Another question, if I may--the letter style defaults to justified
text--yet the right margin was anything but completely uniform. I had
to put discretionary hyphens a few places--no big deal, really--but in
other places the right was simply a bit ragged. Since TeX is a
typesetting language, I suspect I have something set up wrong. Any
pointers as to where to begin to look?

Again, thanks very kindly for any suggestions you might be able to
give. From what I have seen thus far, I intend to stick with it and to
continue to climb the learning curve. I can already see where it
should pay off very shortly!

i would like to have an image before the title of the document (article), but

  You might try something like:

  I put this in preamble and nothing occurs. When I

  I chequed for {} and all is OK, but error appears.

 I don't know why you are having this problem. It

export to LaTeX and  then compile it manually.

 I found that with (pagestyles provided by titlesec)

Adding TeX class problem

[Eugeny N Dzhurinsky]

Hello!

Co-workers sent me some TeX document to work on and class required for this
document. I copied class to /usr/local/share/texmf/latex/company/company.cls
together with EPS images. Then I invoked texhash command as root, and then I
choose Tools-Reconfigure in LyX (1.4.1).

Now I can see company.cls in Tools-TeX information list of TeX classes.

Then I created some dummy layout in $HOME/.lyx/layouts/company.layout which
just defines class and then imports acticle.layout. I was able to use tex2lyx
and it created LyX document for me. But when I opening LyX document, LyX
complains about 

Using default document class, because the class company is unknown.

I can't see this class in document-settings-class either

But I did the exactly same stuff with cv.cls I found somewhere on the net, and 
it
is listed as circullum vitae in class list!

What do I miss?

David,

  First, upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.4.1. Second, there is a non-intuitive order
of elements in the letter. It's been many years, but I believe that the
signature block has to be entered toward the top of the letter. I was
thinking recently that I need to re-visit how to use LaTeX for letters. Take
a look at the Koma-script series for documentation.

  This might help: http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/help/faqs/latex/letters.shtml

This is descibed in the LaTeX book by Leslie Lamport and others. A basic
example of its use is

\documentclass{letter}
\address{12 The Street \\ Oxford \\ OX1 1AA}
\name{Me}
\signature{My Signature line}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{M. Renault \\ Sorbonne \\ Paris}
\opening{Dear Sir,}

 text of the letter 

\closing{Yours faithfully}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

Additional commands you may use include

\cc{Jane Jones}
\encl{My newest poem}

which can be put after the closing but before the end letter to list those
the letter has been cc'ed to and any documents enclosed.


Another question, if I may--the letter style defaults to justified
text--yet the right margin was anything but completely uniform. I had to
put discretionary hyphens a few places--no big deal, really--but in other
places the right was simply a bit ragged. Since TeX is a typesetting

to begin to look?


  No, you have nothing set incorrectly. The TeX engine sometimes cannot
figure out where to properly break a line, so it juts into the right margin.
It's called an overfull line and needs human correction. You can either
provide hints where the word could be hyphenated (by entering {\-} in ERT
boxes at the appropriate places), or re-writing the sentence so the word
order is different.

  If you're going to be using LaTeX and Lyx extensively, consider purchasing
two references to start:

  Kopka, H. and P.W. Daly. Guide to LaTeX, 4th Edition
  Mittlebach, F. and M. Goossens. The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition.

That's easy, use the command similar to

\setkomafont{captionlabel}{\bfseries}

For the exact command have a look at the koma-skript manual:

http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf


2) how to tell lyx to start numbering everything with 1 - and not with 0.1


What do you mean? The section numbering in koma-book starts with 0.1 
when you don't have a chapter at the start of the document. You can 
easily switch from the xxx.yyy numbering to another one, have a look at 
koma-scripts manual.


Koma-scripts offers you many things you normally need extra packages 
for, e.g. the caption handling, title page and TOC formatting, and of 
course its famous print space calculation (no need to set the page 
border manually and binding correction is supported).

Extending book (koma-script)

[Oliver Ruebenkoenig]

Hi there,

my goal is to make available the definition, example, etc from book (AMS) 
in book (koma-script). Now, I am not en expert and the fact that this has not 
been done, probably does have some reason which I, very well, might have 
missed. Anyways, what I did was to copy scrbook.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts 
and inset a

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrbook]{book (koma-script + AMS)}

then I tried two things. First 

Input amsmaths.inc

This did not work. Lyx: The document could not be converted into the 
document class scrbookAMS.

Second I did:

I am aware of 
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm#textclass_mod_tut

and so I included

Preamble
  \theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
EndPreamble

but then I got the message that /theoremstyle{plain} is an undef. control 
sequence - which I agree to, but where do I get it from? 

I would appreciate any hints to enlighten my dull mind.

This option is deactivated in LyX for Windows because you have to use in 
any case the spellchecker aspell.

If you installed Lyx using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
You only need to install an aspell dictionary from here:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=9651

otherwise install aspell using this version:

http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/AspellData-0.60.4.exe

and then install an aspell dictionary.

To get the formula numbers on the right side delete this option, or if

I assume you meant lyx1.4.1 since 1.4.0 is fairly buggy.
Aspell is used by LyX and must be installed in C:\Aspell
Your idea above, of how to install Aspell is not needed.

You will need to install the Aspell program and also a
dictionary for your language; then LyX-Tools-Reconfigure

http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX14x
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6

If you have other packages missing it might be better
to uninstall LyX and reinstall with the WinLyXInstaller.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller (complete)

It is possible to have LyX1.3.7 with the older Aspell
.53 version and LyX 1.4.1 with the newer .6 version
Aspell engine and dict. both be installed and working.

Equation numbering corresponding to section number

[Liu Feng]

Hi,Sir
I could not number equations like 5.1, 5.2 within
section 5.1 in Chapter 5. All eaqutions numbered just
start from (1),(2) in global way. How to number
eqaution according to the number of section or the
number of chapter.
BTW,I am using 'book' doc. class with lyx-1.4 in Win
XP

Method 1: Stick everything except the desired part in comments (and hope
this does not screw up the pagination, or leave cross-references
undefined).

Method 2: Make a PDF of the entire document, then use Ghostscript to
produce a PDF of selected pages, as in the following (which extracts
pages 3 through 5 inclusive from sourcefile.pdf):

gsc -dFirstPage=3 -dLastPage=5 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf
-dBATCH -dNOPAUSE sourcefile.pdf

Method 3: I use a PDF printer driver (PDFCreator) that, like most
printer drivers, can output selected pages.  So I can print the document
to it from Acrobat Reader and extract just the pages I want.


Method 4:

pdftk sourcefile.pdf cat 130-140 output test.pdf

You can find pdftk here:

http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/

It can do lots of other stuff, including merging pdfs, splitting pdfs,
reading, inserting and changing metadata, and lots more. I first heard about
it on this list.


May I suggest that you add these methods/tips to this page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF

Or, if this subject is complicated enought to deserve a page of it's own, 
how about creating this page

Sure Christian,

I'm publishing an Ebook in PDF format. I want to discourage copying, but don't
want to do obnoxious DRM like not allowing printing, degrading printing, or
locking it to a specific computer.

So I do 2 things:

1) Print the customer's name in a footer at the bottom of the page (which is
why I asked before how to get a footer to print from paper edge to paper
edge). This discourages the customer from giving the PDF to his friends,
because it's his name on the book, and if it escapes into the wild, it's
obvious who did it. Now you and I probably know at least 3 ways to get rid of
that name, but your average joe doesn't.

2) In case it escapes into the wild and maybe someone altered the name in the
footer, I want a code inside the pdf that doesn't print. The easiest way I
know to do this is to make the code a metadata property with a key and a
value. The key will be a nonobvious string, and the value will look like
gibberish, but I can scan the PDF for the key, get the value, and relate it
back to my book sales.

So to add a key-value pair, you use the pdftk dump_data to write all metadata
to a text file, then append the new key and value to the text file, then
pdftk update_info to put back all the metadata, including the new key value
pair.

You can then use grep to get the line containing the key and value, and sed to
partially remove garbage, and my the listed C program to strip it down to
nothing but the value so it can be assigned to a variable in a script using
backticks or $(mycommand) syntax.

I hope this helps you understand what I was doing, but if you or anyone else
has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks

Hi all,

If that's not possible, is there a way I can brand a PDF with a
number somehow? I have pdftk.

Thanks

Here's how it's done, assuming you want to tweak org.pdf so it includes
metadata MYKEY=MYVALUE in the output PDF, tweaked.pdf:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf dump_data output mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoKey: MYKEY  mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoValue: MYVALUE  mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf update_info mymetadata.txt output
tweaked.pdf

You've now put metadata key MYKEY with value MYVALUE into tweaked.pdf.
You can quickly pull that data out with my check_pdf.sh script:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ./check_pdf.sh tweaked.pdf MYKEY
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

Here's the (bash script) code for check_pdf.sh, which I put in the public
domain and disclaim all warranty and liability:

#!/bin/bash
cat $1 | grep -a $2 | sed -e s/.*$2\s*// |
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe

format_pdf_metadata_value.exe simply grabs the value from the line
containing the key. It should work under Linux or Windows (or BSD, which
I assume would make it Mac compatible). Here is the C source code for
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe, which I put in the public domain and
disclaim all warranty and liability:

#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ord = getc(stdin);
int count = 0;

/* GO TO OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord != '('  count  20; count++, ord=getc(stdin));
if(count = 20) /* magic number, much bigger than needed */
{
fprintf(stderr, Value not found\n);
return(1);
}

/* GO PAST OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord == '('; ord=getc(stdin));

/* BLOW OFF LEADING NONPRINTABLES */
for(;((ord  0) || (ord  127)); ord = getc(stdin));

/* PRINT UP TO BUT NOT INCLUDING CLOSING PAREN */
/* DO NOT PRINT ALL THE NULL BYTES */
for(; ord != ')'; ord = getc(stdin))
if(ord != 0)
putc(ord, stdout);
return 0;

A newbie question, please?

[David Neeley]

As a newcomer to Lyx and to LaTex, I have a rather simple question
that is so far rather aggravating. Today, I wrote a letter using the
letter style template that shipped with Lyx (1.3.7 for Kubuntu Linux,
with teTeX also installed).

This was a business letter--and of course the template has an inside
address for the recipient. However, try as I might, I could *not* get
it to print the inside address at all. It was missing from the DVI
view and from all printable views (the various PostScript and PDF
options).

I trust there was something I should have known how to find and
adjust--but it doesn't seem to be part of the document properties
settings or paragraph properties settings either. I presume it must be
in the laTeX code?

Thanks for any kind words you can give to point me in the right
direction! I am buried in the various document files--but so far, this
appears to be missing from the Lyx User Guide, anyway.

Another question, if I may--the letter style defaults to justified
text--yet the right margin was anything but completely uniform. I had
to put discretionary hyphens a few places--no big deal, really--but in
other places the right was simply a bit ragged. Since TeX is a
typesetting language, I suspect I have something set up wrong. Any
pointers as to where to begin to look?

Again, thanks very kindly for any suggestions you might be able to
give. From what I have seen thus far, I intend to stick with it and to
continue to climb the learning curve. I can already see where it
should pay off very shortly!

Adding TeX class problem

[Eugeny N Dzhurinsky]

Hello!

Co-workers sent me some TeX document to work on and class required for this
document. I copied class to /usr/local/share/texmf/latex/company/company.cls
together with EPS images. Then I invoked texhash command as root, and then I
choose Tools-Reconfigure in LyX (1.4.1).

Now I can see company.cls in Tools-TeX information list of TeX classes.

Then I created some dummy layout in $HOME/.lyx/layouts/company.layout which
just defines class and then imports acticle.layout. I was able to use tex2lyx
and it created LyX document for me. But when I opening LyX document, LyX
complains about 

Using default document class, because the class company is unknown.

I can't see this class in document-settings-class either

But I did the exactly same stuff with cv.cls I found somewhere on the net, and 
it
is listed as circullum vitae in class list!

What do I miss?

David,

  First, upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.4.1. Second, there is a non-intuitive order
of elements in the letter. It's been many years, but I believe that the
signature block has to be entered toward the top of the letter. I was
thinking recently that I need to re-visit how to use LaTeX for letters. Take
a look at the Koma-script series for documentation.

  This might help: http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/help/faqs/latex/letters.shtml

This is descibed in the LaTeX book by Leslie Lamport and others. A basic
example of its use is

\documentclass{letter}
\address{12 The Street \\ Oxford \\ OX1 1AA}
\name{Me}
\signature{My Signature line}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{M. Renault \\ Sorbonne \\ Paris}
\opening{Dear Sir,}

 text of the letter 

\closing{Yours faithfully}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

Additional commands you may use include

\cc{Jane Jones}
\encl{My newest poem}

which can be put after the closing but before the end letter to list those
the letter has been cc'ed to and any documents enclosed.


Another question, if I may--the letter style defaults to justified
text--yet the right margin was anything but completely uniform. I had to
put discretionary hyphens a few places--no big deal, really--but in other
places the right was simply a bit ragged. Since TeX is a typesetting

to begin to look?


  No, you have nothing set incorrectly. The TeX engine sometimes cannot
figure out where to properly break a line, so it juts into the right margin.
It's called an overfull line and needs human correction. You can either
provide hints where the word could be hyphenated (by entering {\-} in ERT
boxes at the appropriate places), or re-writing the sentence so the word
order is different.

  If you're going to be using LaTeX and Lyx extensively, consider purchasing
two references to start:

  Kopka, H. and P.W. Daly. Guide to LaTeX, 4th Edition
  Mittlebach, F. and M. Goossens. The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition.

That's easy, use the command similar to

For the exact command have a look at the koma-skript manual:

http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf


2) how to tell lyx to start numbering everything with 1 - and not with 0.1


What do you mean? The section numbering in koma-book starts with 0.1 
when you don't have a chapter at the start of the document. You can 
easily switch from the xxx.yyy numbering to another one, have a look at 
koma-scripts manual.


Koma-scripts offers you many things you normally need extra packages 
for, e.g. the caption handling, title page and TOC formatting, and of 
course its famous print space calculation (no need to set the page 
border manually and binding correction is supported).

Extending book (koma-script)

[Oliver Ruebenkoenig]

Hi there,

my goal is to make available the definition, example, etc from book (AMS) 
in book (koma-script). Now, I am not en expert and the fact that this has not 
been done, probably does have some reason which I, very well, might have 
missed. Anyways, what I did was to copy scrbook.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts 
and inset a

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrbook]{book (koma-script + AMS)}

then I tried two things. First 

Input amsmaths.inc

This did not work. Lyx: The document could not be converted into the 
document class scrbookAMS.

Second I did:

I am aware of 
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm#textclass_mod_tut

and so I included

Preamble
  \theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
EndPreamble

but then I got the message that /theoremstyle{plain} is an undef. control 
sequence - which I agree to, but where do I get it from? 

I would appreciate any hints to enlighten my dull mind.

This option is deactivated in LyX for Windows because you have to use in 
any case the spellchecker aspell.

If you installed Lyx using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
You only need to install an aspell dictionary from here:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=9651

otherwise install aspell using this version:

http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/AspellData-0.60.4.exe

I assume you meant lyx1.4.1 since 1.4.0 is fairly buggy.
Aspell is used by LyX and must be installed in C:\Aspell
Your idea above, of how to install Aspell is not needed.

You will need to install the Aspell program and also a
dictionary for your language; then LyX-Tools-Reconfigure

http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX14x
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6

If you have other packages missing it might be better
to uninstall LyX and reinstall with the WinLyXInstaller.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller (complete)

It is possible to have LyX1.3.7 with the older Aspell
.53 version and LyX 1.4.1 with the newer .6 version
Aspell engine and dict. both be installed and working.

section 5.1 in Chapter 5. All eaqutions numbered just
start from (1),(2) in global way. How to number
eqaution according to the number of section or the
number of chapter.
BTW,I am using 'book' doc. class with lyx-1.4 in Win
XP

Method 1: Stick everything except the desired part in comments (and hope
this does not screw up the pagination, or leave cross-references
undefined).

Method 2: Make a PDF of the entire document, then use Ghostscript to
produce a PDF of selected pages, as in the following (which extracts
pages 3 through 5 inclusive from sourcefile.pdf):

gsc -dFirstPage=3 -dLastPage=5 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf
-dBATCH -dNOPAUSE sourcefile.pdf

Method 3: I use a PDF printer driver (PDFCreator) that, like most
printer drivers, can output selected pages.  So I can print the document
to it from Acrobat Reader and extract just the pages I want.


Method 4:

pdftk sourcefile.pdf cat 130-140 output test.pdf

You can find pdftk here:

http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/

It can do lots of other stuff, including merging pdfs, splitting pdfs,
reading, inserting and changing metadata, and lots more. I first heard about
it on this list.


May I suggest that you add these methods/tips to this page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF

Or, if this subject is complicated enought to deserve a page of it's own, 
how about creating this page

Sure Christian,

I'm publishing an Ebook in PDF format. I want to discourage copying, but don't
want to do obnoxious DRM like not allowing printing, degrading printing, or
locking it to a specific computer.

So I do 2 things:

1) Print the customer's name in a footer at the bottom of the page (which is
why I asked before how to get a footer to print from paper edge to paper
edge). This discourages the customer from giving the PDF to his friends,
because it's his name on the book, and if it "escapes" into the wild, it's
obvious who did it. Now you and I probably know at least 3 ways to get rid of
that name, but your average joe doesn't.

2) In case it escapes into the wild and maybe someone altered the name in the
footer, I want a code inside the pdf that doesn't print. The easiest way I
know to do this is to make the code a metadata property with a key and a
value. The key will be a nonobvious string, and the value will look like
gibberish, but I can scan the PDF for the key, get the value, and relate it
back to my book sales.

So to add a key->value pair, you use the pdftk dump_data to write all metadata
to a text file, then append the new key and value to the text file, then
pdftk update_info to put back all the metadata, including the new key value
pair.

You can then use grep to get the line containing the key and value, and sed to
partially remove garbage, and my the listed C program to strip it down to
nothing but the value so it can be assigned to a variable in a script using
backticks or $(mycommand) syntax.

I hope this helps you understand what I was doing, but if you or anyone else
has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks

Hi all,

Here's how it's done, assuming you want to tweak org.pdf so it includes
metadata MYKEY=MYVALUE in the output PDF, tweaked.pdf:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf dump_data output mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoKey: MYKEY >> mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo InfoValue: MYVALUE >> mymetadata.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pdftk org.pdf update_info mymetadata.txt output
tweaked.pdf

You've now put metadata key MYKEY with value MYVALUE into tweaked.pdf.
You can quickly pull that data out with my check_pdf.sh script:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ./check_pdf.sh tweaked.pdf MYKEY
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

Here's the (bash script) code for check_pdf.sh, which I put in the public
domain and disclaim all warranty and liability:

#!/bin/bash
cat $1 | grep -a "$2" | sed -e "s/.*$2\s*//" |
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe

format_pdf_metadata_value.exe simply grabs the value from the line
containing the key. It should work under Linux or Windows (or BSD, which
I assume would make it Mac compatible). Here is the C source code for
format_pdf_metadata_value.exe, which I put in the public domain and
disclaim all warranty and liability:

#include 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ord = getc(stdin);
int count = 0;

/* GO TO OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord != '(' && count < 20; count++, ord=getc(stdin));
if(count >= 20) /* magic number, much bigger than needed */
{
fprintf(stderr, "Value not found\n");
return(1);
}

/* GO PAST OPENING PAREN */
for(; ord == '('; ord=getc(stdin));

/* BLOW OFF LEADING NONPRINTABLES */
for(;((ord < 0) || (ord > 127)); ord = getc(stdin));

/* PRINT UP TO BUT NOT INCLUDING CLOSING PAREN */

if(ord != 0)

A "newbie" question, please?

[David Neeley]

As a newcomer to Lyx and to LaTex, I have a rather simple question
that is so far rather aggravating. Today, I wrote a letter using the
letter style template that shipped with Lyx (1.3.7 for Kubuntu Linux,
with teTeX also installed).

This was a business letter--and of course the template has an inside
address for the recipient. However, try as I might, I could *not* get
it to print the inside address at all. It was missing from the DVI
view and from all printable views (the various PostScript and PDF
options).

I trust there was something I should have known how to find and
adjust--but it doesn't seem to be part of the document properties
settings or paragraph properties settings either. I presume it must be
in the laTeX code?

Thanks for any kind words you can give to point me in the right
direction! I am buried in the various document files--but so far, this
appears to be missing from the Lyx User Guide, anyway.

Another question, if I may--the letter style defaults to justified
text--yet the right margin was anything but completely uniform. I had
to put discretionary hyphens a few places--no big deal, really--but in
other places the right was simply a bit ragged. Since TeX is a
typesetting language, I suspect I have something set up wrong. Any
pointers as to where to begin to look?

Again, thanks very kindly for any suggestions you might be able to
give. From what I have seen thus far, I intend to stick with it and to
continue to climb the learning curve. I can already see where it
should pay off very shortly!

Adding TeX class problem

[Eugeny N Dzhurinsky]

Hello!

Co-workers sent me some TeX document to work on and class required for this
document. I copied class to /usr/local/share/texmf/latex/company/company.cls
together with EPS images. Then I invoked "texhash" command as root, and then I
choose "Tools->Reconfigure" in LyX (1.4.1).

Now I can see company.cls in Tools->TeX information list of TeX classes.

Then I created some dummy layout in $HOME/.lyx/layouts/company.layout which
just defines class and then imports acticle.layout. I was able to use tex2lyx
and it created LyX document for me. But when I opening LyX document, LyX
complains about 

"Using default document class, because the class company is unknown".

I can't see this class in document->settings->class either

But I did the exactly same stuff with cv.cls I found somewhere on the net, and 
it
is listed as "circullum vitae" in class list!

What do I miss?

David,

  First, upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.4.1. Second, there is a non-intuitive order
of elements in the letter. It's been many years, but I believe that the
signature block has to be entered toward the top of the letter. I was
thinking recently that I need to re-visit how to use LaTeX for letters. Take
a look at the Koma-script series for documentation.

  This might help: 

"This is descibed in the LaTeX book by Leslie Lamport and others. A basic
example of its use is

\documentclass{letter}
\address{12 The Street \\ Oxford \\ OX1 1AA}
\name{Me}
\signature{My Signature line}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{M. Renault \\ Sorbonne \\ Paris}
\opening{Dear Sir,}

 text of the letter 

\closing{Yours faithfully}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

Additional commands you may use include

\cc{Jane Jones}
\encl{My newest poem}

which can be put after the closing but before the end letter to list those
the letter has been cc'ed to and any documents enclosed."

to begin to look?


  No, you have nothing set incorrectly. The TeX engine sometimes cannot
figure out where to properly break a line, so it juts into the right margin.
It's called an overfull line and needs human correction. You can either
provide hints where the word could be hyphenated (by entering {\-} in ERT
boxes at the appropriate places), or re-writing the sentence so the word
order is different.

  If you're going to be using LaTeX and Lyx extensively, consider purchasing
two references to start:

  Kopka, H. and P.W. Daly. Guide to LaTeX, 4th Edition
  Mittlebach, F. and M. Goossens. The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition.

That's easy, use the command similar to

For the exact command have a look at the koma-skript manual:

http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf


2) how to tell lyx to start numbering everything with 1 - and not with 0.1


What do you mean? The section numbering in koma-book starts with 0.1 
when you don't have a chapter at the start of the document. You can 
easily switch from the xxx.yyy numbering to another one, have a look at 
koma-scripts manual.


Koma-scripts offers you many things you normally need extra packages 
for, e.g. the caption handling, title page and TOC formatting, and of 
course its famous print space calculation (no need to set the page 
border manually and binding correction is supported).

You have to choose "Tools->Reconfigure" _after_ creating the dummy 
layout because Reconfigure looks for new layouts. From your description 
you did it before you created the dummy layout.

A much simpler solution, which works generally, is to put this in the preamble 
(provided you have the enumitem package installed):

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate{parsep=0pt,itemsep=0pt,partopsep=0pt}

Read the enumtiem documentation for more possibilities.

Really, you were right!

Now I'm able to open document in LyX. However I can't see it as DVI, it
complains about

 \confidential

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

Extending book (koma-script)

[Oliver Ruebenkoenig]

Hi there,

my goal is to make available the definition, example, etc from book (AMS) 
in book (koma-script). Now, I am not en expert and the fact that this has not 
been done, probably does have some reason which I, very well, might have 
missed. Anyways, what I did was to copy scrbook.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts 
and inset a

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrbook]{book (koma-script + AMS)}

then I tried two things. First 

Input amsmaths.inc

This did not work. Lyx: The document could not be converted into the 
document class scrbookAMS.

Second I did:

I am aware of 
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm#textclass_mod_tut

and so I included

Preamble
  \theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
EndPreamble

but then I got the message that /theoremstyle{plain} is an undef. control 
sequence - which I agree to, but where do I get it from? 

I would appreciate any hints to enlighten my dull mind.

This option is deactivated in LyX for Windows because you have to use in 
any case the spellchecker "aspell".

If you installed Lyx using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
You only need to install an aspell dictionary from here:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=9651

otherwise install aspell using this version:

Then you use a special document class or your document uses the option

To get the formula numbers on the right side delete this option, or if 
this doesn't help try to use the option "reqno" (add it in the document

I assume you meant lyx1.4.1 since 1.4.0 is fairly buggy.
Aspell is used by LyX and must be installed in C:\Aspell
Your idea above, of how to install Aspell is not needed.

You will need to install the Aspell program and also a
dictionary for your language; then LyX->Tools->Reconfigure

http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX14x
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6

If you have other packages missing it might be better
to uninstall LyX and reinstall with the WinLyXInstaller.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller (complete)

It is possible to have LyX1.3.7 with the older Aspell
.53 version and LyX 1.4.1 with the newer .6 version
Aspell engine and dict. both be installed and working.
