Re: vector graphics badly pixelated when creating pdf with pdflatex under Linux Mint 16. Everything works perfectly under Windows XP.
If you're producing a pdf, why don't you export your pictures as pdf to start with?

Do you have installed epstopdf binary (part of texlive-fontutils)? If not please report it on mint bug tracker that this should be part of depencies when lyx is installed. Pavel

I have a Linux system which does not have these problems, though it is Gentoo, not Linux Mint. The problem with pdflatex might involve not having a full texlive installed. As far as I can tell the conversion is handled (at least in ps2pdf) by epstopdf, which is part of the dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils package. On my system LyX handles the tiff to PDF conversion with tiff2ps, which is part of the media-libs/tiff package. You may be missing this package (which may have a different name in Linux Mint). Les

Dvipdfm and Tsis all depends on the tools for graphic conversion installed. If you specify the type of vector format, one could have a better idea what is possibly missing o=under Linux Mint. > ps2pdf also work under Windows but under Linux they throw errors of a > number being too large or of some pixel images (that are tif files > converted to eps, not the files mentioned before) being too large (in > inches). So I cannot test these methods. Just to clarify - and likely you know it - tif is not a vector format but a bitmap format.
