LaTeX → PDF | Document in Preview (OS X) causes glitches

Post by Cham »

I'm creating a Book with LaTeX on OS X (Snow Leopard). Everything is working great, but I have two small glitches that annoys me when I check the PDF document in the Preview application :
  1. The page number shown in the Preview app doesn't match the page number in the PDF document (especially the i, ii, iii, iv, ... from the Frontmatter pages).
  2. Using the hyperref package, I'm yet unable to see the author's info in Preview app. Here's the code I'm using for that package :

    Code: Select all

    \usepackage[%
      unicode,
      colorlinks,
      linkcolor=black,
      urlcolor=red,
      citecolor=red,
      pdftitle={Title},
      pdfauthor={My name},
      pdfsubject={A small description},
      pdfkeywords={Some keywords},
      pdfproducer={pdfLaTeX},
      plainpages=false,
      pdfpagelabels
    ]{hyperref}
Any idea how to solve these glitches ?

The glitch I have is that when ever lyx runs latex, it gets "cannot determine graphic size error". I'm using eps files so size determination should be easy.

I even tried images that used to work on Linux (I'm trying to get going on windows 10).

I see old references to this kind of problem, but no solutions.

In 'lyx' using 'ps2pdf' option evades the problem. The 'dvi' options also work. Problem appears to be related to 'pdLatex' ...
