Does that also happen with a simple document, or does it only happen if you try to use pdfpages? > The solution I would best prefer would allow me to use latex instead of > pdflatex, enabling me to continue using all the eps images I have already > in the doc. (As far as I understood from the recent discussion pdflatex > does not support eps) -- Is this possible? Yes and no. pdflatex alone can not use eps, but LyX will convert eps images for you if you have them in your LyX document and create a pdf with pdflatex. Georg
