Re: problem previewing pdf figure

Is this true of one particular image, one particular document, or all documents
containing PDF images? Assuming the last, open a command window and check that
'convert -version' returns the version info for the Ghostscript convert function
and not the DOS convert function. If it's the DOS function info, trying either
editing your system path to put the GS convert function at the top or editing
Tools  Preferences...  Paths  PATH Prefix in LyX to do so.

If the version info is for the GS convert function (or if you already have the
GS bin directory in your LyX PATH Prefix setting), try running 'convert
your_image.pdf your_image.ppm' and see if the convert function spits up any
error messages.

problem previewing pdf figure

2013-02-01 Thread s nedunuri
I have a pdf figure in my lyx file. Exporting the entire document to pdf 
using pdflatex works fine. The problem is previewing the image in lyx. 
The error message I get is Error converting to loadable format.  When 
i google for this problem i find several places that says its a problem 
with an older version of Ghostscript, but that the problem has been 
fixed if you have version 9 or greater. I checked the version of GS i 
have in the lyx directory and its 9.04 so I should be fine but I'm still 
not :-(


thanks!
