I meant a thread on the lyx-users list, not on the tex2pdf-devel one, e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg29234.html not so recent after all. Is the lyx archive complete ? I thought of this one, which I'm not able to find and to cite instead of re-posting, sorry. ------------- Begin Forwarded Message ------------- Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 18:57:32 +0100 (MET) From: "Jean-Pierre.Chretien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: eps figures in pdflatex To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>From: Angus Leeming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: RE: eps figures in pdflatex >>Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 17:11:50 +0000 >>X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host: pneumon.bg.ic.ac.uk >> >>Paul A.

The CompatibilityLevel option of gs may helt to make it more robust. I found even a case where eps2eps failed and importing and rexporting in xfig (which can be easily included in a wrapper calling fig2dev on a template fig file) was the only way out to get the BoundingBox changes work. Forget convert to manage eps, AFAIU it will produce bitmap eps, which is bad but for pictures. -- Jean-Pierre ------------- End Forwarded Message -------------
