I want now to use the pdflatex function, and the eps-images do not
appear in the output file. Thus, I tried to export the OpenDraw file as
.pdf. Now Lyx includes the image with a white boarder, and it does not
make it fitting to the page width anymore. I tried epstopdf.exe on the
eps-file. Same result.
What attributes does the pdf-file need? Are there any export options
from OpenDraw I need to switch on/off? I did not find any.

I'm not sure if Open Draw is intended to be used like this, it doesn't
appear to have the facility to select the objects that comprise the
drawing and export them as a PDF, it just exports them as a page (with
white space borders).
You might like to try Inkscape for your drawings, this is a nice little
package that will do everything OD will do and more. With Inkscape you
can group all of the objects in a drawing together and then snap the
page size to the drawing and save it as a PDF, with no borders.
It's free, see:
