I didn't have one defined by default for PDF(graphics) at all. When I added a PDF(graphics) to EPS converter, it defaulted to: python -tt $$s/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -c big5 $$i > $$o Which still produces an aliased PDF. I tried defining it your way, but it seems that pdftops is not available on my setup. LyX throws up a non-specific error. I can't debug this properly since I am away from my other machine, which has Mac OS 10.9x and (as far as I recall) does not have this problem. Could be a MacTeX version difference? Or just OS-specific?
