Math Panel
I recently upgraded to v1.5b2 and I was wondering how I am supposed to access math symbols like the different forms of equalities, like the is proportional to, lessthan or equal to, or approximately equal to, since the math panel has been turned into the math toolbar. Am I just missing something? I did find the menu with the different delimeters, but I'm not finding similar menus for the other types of symbols. Logan Olin College Class of 2010

Ideas wantet: How to watermark or stamp existing PDFs with LyX/LaTeX
Hi Everybody, I am looking for a clever way to merge some extra information into existing PDF files. Background: We have a bunch of research papers (PDF) which should be stamped on the first page with some small box containing extra information. The information to add includes a link to the publisher data about the paper (http://doi.xxx). Until now this is done by editing each PDF manually in Acrobat, which is a real PITA. So I am developing a scriptable solution. The general idea is to use a combination of LyX/LaTeX/BibTeX and Python to extract and typeset the information from a BibTeX database into a single page PDF, which is then stamped on (merged into) the first page of the existing PDF. The challenge are hyperlinks and the toc. Both PDFs - the original one and the stamp - may contain hyperlinks which I do not want to lose in the merging process. The toc (if present) should be taken from the original paper: 1) My first idea was to use the pdfpages package: The stamp document just includes all pages of the original PDF, resulting in a merged version. However, pdfpages does not preserve hyperlinks of the included pages and the toc is lost. 2) Then I tried to use the pdftk tool (http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/), which provides means stamp one PDF document into another: pdftk paper.pdf stamp stamp.pdf output paper_stamped.pdf Thereby, hyperlinks and toc of paper.pdf make it into the resulting paper_stamped.pdf - excellent. However, in this case the hyperlink from the stamp is lost. So it seems that I can preserve hyperlinks from either the stamp or the original PDF, but not both :-( Are there other tools or packages I can look into? Is there a completely different approach I might try? Thanks a lot! Daniel

Hi, It seems this is an oldy but goodie. Just installed Lyx 1.4.3 in Net BSD got the above error messageupon starting. I can find stuff on the list that deals with this error in windows but not UNIX does anybody know how to solve this on UNIX? Regards, Alasdair
1.5.0 Beta 2 and XeTeX
Hi,
firstly I'd like to thank the dev team for the excellent work put into
the 1.5 series so far with respect to Unicode support.
I'm trying to get Unicode output to work with XeTeX and LyX 1.5.0 on
Windows. (Incidentally, XeTeX should also solve many of the problems
others were having with Sanskrit.) Getting XeTeX to run works fine
using the instructions from the wiki (the semantics for the New button
in both the Formats and Converters dialogs are a bit confusing first).
However there is a problem with Unicode characters. XeTeX processes
UTF-8 natively and does not need the inputenc package (in fact inputenc
confuses XeTeX). In order to get UTF-8 output from LyX, I have to set
the output encoding to utf8 or to utf8x, both of which produce an
\usepackage{inputenc} line. There is apparently no way of getting UTF-8
from LyX without an inputenc line. Would it be possible to add
bare-bones UTF-8 output as an extra output encoding option (UTF-8 Raw
or something)?
Philipp
PS: I'm currently in Uzbekistan with a very flaky modem line and (every
two weeks or so) a visit to an Internet cafe with an 128kbps uplink as
my connection to the outside world. As a result I can't really do SVN
checkouts and the like, and I'm forced to read the list on a somewhat
irregular basis; please bear with me if I'm a bit slow to answer.

Regards, Alasdair I think the Windows solution should also work on Unix/Linux. The error message means the configuration script failed for some reason. Open a shell, cd to the parent directory under which your LyX home directory (preferences etc.) should be installed, and from there run path to Python/python path to LyX/Resources/configure.py. Keep an eye on the output for indications of problems (particularly the script failing to find a working version of LaTeX). /Paul

For the archive: pyPDF is a nice and quite easy to use Python library to merge pages from different input PDF files into an output PDF file. Unfortunately it does not solve my problem. The results are similar to using pdftk: The hyperlinks of the stamp get lost :-( Daniel
