Hello All, This is not explicitly a LyX question but it's related.
I want to use pdflatex to create a PDF of my LyX document (I have tried many things but this seems to be the only way to get equations to look nice on-screen, also I want to use hyperrefs). As pdflatex can't handle eps figures I have converted my figures to PDF and put a copy of them in the same directory as the eps figure, so that within LyX the eps is used and when pdflatex is called it uses the pdf files. My problem is with converting my eps figures to pdf. I have tried using "convert", but this puts my small figure in the middle of an A4 page, so when it gets included in my document it has to go on a page by itself with loads of space around it. The fonts also look very bad on the screen. I have also tried using "epstopdf", this gives a nicely bound figure (ie there is no white space around my figure) but the fonts also are bad on screen (not as bad as with convert though). I looked at the document info of the resulting PDF file and it says that type 3 fonts have been used. Is there a way of forcing type 1 fonts to be used. I have also tried using the convert option of GSview under Windows. The resulting file looks great on the screen but I have the same problem of lots of white space around the figure. Does anyone know a solution to this problem, or another program that would do the trick Thanks in advance Nick ____________________________________ Nick Burgan Postgraduate Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 (0)8 8303 6385 Fax: +61 (0)8 8303 4367 ____________________________________
