That is, because of some error, TeX doesn't read correctly the end of the header, and includes some of the following document. If that includes environments that shouldn't be in a header (for me, usually a multiline displayed equation), it will choke in this manner. Why it only does that with export to ps2pdf is not clear. Some graphics, perhaps, being included into a header? I find ps2pdf to be more forgiving, in general, of graphics formats than pdlatex (I often include postscript and eps graphics, which sometimes pdflatex does not like). -- David L.

Problem with ps2pdf & pdflatex
I've downloaded a package called classicthesis (http://code.google.com/p/classicthesis/
) & am trying to print their sample document.
I'm getting the error:
Package hyperref Error: Wrong driver option `pdftex'
Tex capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=300]
Curiously enough I can export to a pdf file using Lyx's Export-
>PDF(pdflatex).
But when I try Export->PDF(ps2pdf) I get the above error.
I've pinged the classic thesis folks about this but am not sure if it
is a Lyx configuration problem on my end or a problem with the package
so I am posting to this group as well.
Their config file calls hyperref using:
\PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,hyperfootnotes=false,pdfpagelabels}
{hyperref}
\usepackage{hyperref} % backref linktocpage pagebackref
which I have no idea what this means or if it is ok.
Basically:
1) what does this error mean?
2) how do I set the print option to pdflatex rather than ps2pdf,
perhaps only for some documents?
TIA!

PS. I'm relatively new to Lyx, only started with it last month, and
have only worked with short articles (no problems printing them).
