Export image to PDF as JPG, not as EPS
Hi. I am writing a Beamer presentation. One of my slides has a very large EPS graphic. When I get to this slide in the presentation the computer takes a few moments to draw this image to screen. Is there a way for me to instead ask LyX to export this image to the PDF slideshow under a different format? One that will render more instantly, such as a high-quality JPEG? Thanks, Ken

Whether a different image format will render faster is an empirical question, but why not just convert the image to a PDF file in a terminal/DOS windows (for instance, using the epstopdf script) and then link the PDF rather than the EPS in your document? /Paul

Your EPS graphic almost certainly has too much detail for the screen resolution of the projector used in the presentation. Depending on the content of the graphic there might be better approaches, but I'd suggest using an image editor such as Gimp to produce a raster image with no more than about 1600 pixels in the largest dimension, and save it as a PNG file. If the result does not have detail you need for the presentation, you will have to reconsider what you're presenting, perhaps using an overview with additional slides to show detail. -- Les Denham
