Error while converting to PDF

Question

Edit I am using Lyx version 2.3.2

Regarding @Mensch comment:

This comes after I downloaded mikitex fonts for Hebrew, and tried to install and reinstall several times. in The past, using an older version of Lyx (2.2), I had no problem to convert files that contains Hebrew letters to PDF, but since I updated Lyx to version 2.3, it is no longer working.

I suspect that the problem might be that the Hebrew fonts are not installed on the right folder. However, I do not know what is the right folder, as I looked it up as much as I could, tried multiply options -- ans yet -- it's not working.

while trying to convert a lyx doc (Verison 2.3.2-2) when Using HEBREW fonts, I'm getting this error:

Your log stops in the middle and it is unclear why but the typearea warning is harmless. — Ulrike Fischer, Jun 25, 2019 at 9:53
From you post below, it looks like you are using the legacy PdfLaTeX Hebrew and babel toolchain. Do you have to do this or can you switch to XeLaTeX with polyglossia, or better yet LuaLaTeX with babel? — David Purton, Aug 15, 2019 at 13:35
@Jneven, you're using PDFLaTeX. Using this for Hebrew is a pain. It's old, not maintained, and difficult to get working. Using a modern engine like LuaLaTeX is much easier and gives much better results. I can post a Lyx example, but this is no good if you have to use PDFLaTeX as your engine. — David Purton, Aug 15, 2019 at 13:44

Too long for a comment:

Because you gave us no minimal working example (MWE) we can not help you exactly.

But your sentence

This happened after writing some paragraph, but if I delete the paragraph the file IS converting to PDF

is a pretty clear hint for you:

exactly in that "some paragraph" is the error causing the issue you got.

So please at last show us this paragraph or mutch better show us a small complete tex code we can test on our computers. Lyx can generate TeX-code, but i do not use lyx, I can not help you with that.

The error you think it is is only a warning, comming from the usage of outdated options for your used documentclass scrbook like:

\documentclass[BCOR7.5mm,12pt,DIV12,a4]{scrbook}

You should better use this

\documentclass[BCOR=7.5mm,fontsize=12pt,DIV=12,paper=a4]{scrbook}

to get rid of that warnings ...

Eventually I uninstalled Lyx and mikitex and re-installed it, which solved the problem. but I still can't convert to PDF when using a 'Right to Left' language (like hebrew)

My suggestion is to abandon the old pdflatex Hebrew toolchain. It's just not worth the hassle. Now lualatex and babel provide excellent support for Hebrew.

The only slight difficulty is that LyX does not support setting this up through it's user interface. You have to add things directly to the LaTeX preamble.

Here's a sample LyX file (Update to support inline Hebrew):
