Long story short, from Luatex reference... http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatex.pdf (p. 29 - modifications) " The primitives \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight have been removed because \pagewidth and \pageheight have that purpose. " (I was trying the former). With \pagewidth 297mm and \pageheight 210mm in my document preamble I got back my A4-landscape output. Now, I trust LyX can take care of this. Maybe LyX is trying to pass the outdated \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight options? BR - Daniel
