Dear LyXers,
I'm producing a few files (via pdflatex) in the 2.1.0 version of lyx (I grab it from the -devel git repository and compile it locally). This is on a debian system, running a 3.5 (sid) kernel.
When I include an already-produced .pdf document (via Insert --> File --> External Material) and then choose the template as "PDF pages", everything looks great, and the preview on screen shows that all information is in the forms in the original .pdf.
However, upon exporting from LyX, either doing a View (which I have set to compile via pdflatex), or through File --> Export --> PDF (pdflatex), the
resulting document has the forms as blank (viewing in Okular or acroread). Is this a limitation of pdflatex, or something wacky that LyX is doing?
Many thanks,
Curtis O.
