Well, this seems like a serious problem, not one where we should say "there's nothing to do".
I'd suggest that LyX SHOULD NOT offer to export documents to pdf when they have eps files in them, or at least users need a VERY BIG warning because a lot of users will get in trouble unless they proof read their output very carefully. A bug of this sort, which crops up after a project is finished and printed out and presented to students/teachers, and appears only later in pdf output intended for the Web, is very serious. If tex2pdf works, couldn't LyX incorporate that (its GPL, right?) and cut all usage of the other converters? PJ On 5/30/06, Georg Baum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Unfortunately it is interpreted differently by different programs (therefore gs has the -dAutoRotatePages= switch): Some programs interpret "%%Orientation Landscape" as "this file is already in landscape orientation", while others interpret it as "this file should be in landscape orientation, therefore it should be rotated by 90 degrees." Whatever LyX does with these images will be correct for some and incorrect for others. I don't see a solution for this problem that will work for all eps creators and all viewers. Georg
