Have you tried specifying a clipping region in LyX? Might be
there's an
issue with reading the bounding box info from the PDF (or EPS) (or
both).
I often need to clip pdf images when inserted into a LyX/LaTeX
document.
Also, when there's a .pdf in the document I use pdflatex to view it
as well
as when generating the final output.
I experienced the same problem. If I save an image with bounding box
from, e.g., CorelDraw or OpenOffice Draw as PDF, the bounding box
seems to be neither used in the LyX preview nor in the pdflatex
output. Acrobat Reader displays the image correctly, though.
The only thing that really helped me in these cases is to set the PDF
page size in the drawing tool to reflect the intended size of the
bounding box. As this is PITA on the long term, I eventually got back
to EPS. I save only those images as PDF that use transparency, which
does not work so well with EPS.
