LyX ⇒ Hyperlinking between many files

[Melvin Paul]

Hi all,

Im new to lyx and do not know latex.

Im using beamer document class and have around 1500 slides of presentation, which is too big. So I split it into 15 beamer lyx files with 100 slides each as Lecture1.lyx + Lecture1.pdf, Lecture2.lyx + Lecture2.pdf,...... I developed list.lyx and list.pdf with of all the sections,subsection, subsubsection etc (in article document class). When I click on one of the topic in list.pdf the corresponding lecture.pdf opens because I have hyperlinked them.

But, I want a button in all my 1500 slides, that when I click it, the list.pdf must open (what is the code that i can put in the preamble?).

In some cases, when I click on a subsubsection it should open the corresponding pdf file and go to the exact slide where the data is present.

If these are possible then the next problem is that so many pdf files get opened after going through for some time. So, when I click a hyperlink "abc" in list.pdf, the list.pdf should close and the corresponding pdf file opens and points to the required slide. Similarly, when I click the button on any of the 1500 slides, the file that contains the button should close and the list.pdf should open. So, at a time I have only one pdf file open.

I do not know if all these are possible in lyx. Please Help.


Thanks
Melvin

Hi Melvin,

welcome to the board!

Have a look at the hyperref manual. It describes the commands for hyperlinking external files. You can use such hyperref LaTeX commands in LyX.
