Here conversion to eps is provided by convertDefault.sh, that is IM convert. In a shell convert fig_chapman.pdf fig_chapman.eps does not crop, in spite of the CropBox line within fig_chapman.pdf : /MediaBox [0 0 595 842] /CropBox [5.24043 11.9664 161.905 188.911] I suspect that convert uses MediaBox rather than CropBox, while pdflatex uses CropBox.

I put them into the same directory, opened LyX and then the dvi_problem.lyx. The image file did not display but there was a blank rectangle that was labelled. I then ran pdflatex to get a seemingly nice image. I didn't do anything to it. Then I viewed it with Postscript, DVI and dvipdfm and saw nothing but pieces of the image and I think they were spread out over more than one page. When I saw your image, I suspected you hadn't seen the image in its best pdf light. Because although your image was a big improvement, your improvements are usually nearly perfect and I didn't think you would be happy enough with the result. So just in case I sent what I saw. I took an interest because I don't know how to fix these, not because I'm good at it. I don't even know how to make a pdf file that broken; all my conversions go well because I have good computer karma. :-) Regards, Stephen

I wanted to use pdflatex. Now I have to use eps always, which can be created directly by many programs. Thank you all again Mukhtar
