Astonishing, because pdflatex can embed pdf's directly without conversation
yes I thought that.
and quality loss. But possibly the fonts in the pdf-picture are bitmap fonts,
that can be a reason, they were made outside lyx/latex, but on win32.
I finally got it to switch to eps, thus these problems are not anymore as I can use eps instead of pdf. But I encountered two further strange things on the way to this solution:
(1) lyx or something associated with handling eps in lyx/latex is sensitiv to filenames or paths. eps was not handled correctly if the files (.lyx, .eps) were on a different partition inside a path with German "Umlaute" (ü, ö, ä). I never had problems with that, it does not seem to be lyx specific but an eps issue, but after moving the .lyx/ .eps files directly into the lyx-path, the problem disappeared at once without changing the lyx-file
(2) eps is NOT eps, i.e. there is no eps preview possible if the eps is made by different apps like Visio, CorelDraw, CorelPresentations etc. under win32. Only if the following procedure was chosen, it succeeded:
-> print into ps (with embedded eps checked in postscript settings via virtual laser-printer)
-> convert to eps via ghostview
some of these eps (visio, Corel, etc.) were not only unavailable in lyx-preview, but could not be handled to be transformed into dvi/pdf, too.
There were no problems regarding the classic method of ps -> eps
But ghostview was able to open all eps made by visio, corel.
Does anybody know the reasons ??

so that you see them pixeld, if the picture isn't inserted in its original
size.
Pdf-images can also be created from all image formats, e.g. you can save a jpeg as pdf. Those pdf's appear also in bad quality if they aren't in the original size.
