Hi, I just recently started using Lyx. I followed the instructions
on the wiki for using SVG graphics in my figures
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages). The problem is that
Lyx uses the low res PNG conversion when I generate PDF output using
pdflatex instead of SVG to EPS to PDF which would produce much nicer
vector output. My version of Inkscape (from FC4 extras) does not
have a direct to PDF export but, some versions do have a export to
PDF feature which preserves transparency. Is there a way to control
the graphics conversion process? Ideally, I'd like the SVG to EPS to
PDF route or SVG direct to PDF if I install a newer inkscape.
Thanks, Phil
I take it you created both the converter entries listed on the Wiki?
What happens if you delete the SVG->PNG converter entry (leaving
SVG->EPS)? Without the second entry, I *think* LyX will do a two-stage
conversion (SVG->EPS->PDF), which might be more to your liking.
With a newer Inkscape, you can define a converter that goes SVG->PDF
directly.
