Test file exports ok with dvipdfm (which is what I normally use). With pdflatex, the PDF file is produced sans graphic. Moreover, 1. In the temp directory, the PDF file supposedly containing the graphic exists, and contains what looks like legitimate code (starts with %PDF- 1.3, ends with %%EOF, has some Adobe-type stuff in between) but is only 1 KB in size and does not appear to have anything resembling drawing commands or a bitmap. Acrobat Reader opens it as an empty document. 2. Ghostscript spits up assorted error messages (starting with Warning: BoundingBox not found, then Error: /rangecheck in --.peekstring--, and ending with an unrecoverable error on exit). 3. Same thing happens if I run epstopdf (which is the default converter in LyX) directly against the EPS file. So this isn't a LyX problem per se, it appears to be either a problem with epstopdf (presumably specific to the Win32 port?) or maybe a problem with whatever is generating the EPS file. If the latter, it's a bit of a coincidence that both Jim and I encountered it. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
