If you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do, the ps2raster tool which is part of GMT (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/) does a very nice job.
Les, I don't want a raster image; LyX/LaTeX prefers PostScript, particularly the encapsulated form.
takes a PS (or EPS) input file, sets the bounding box to the smallest size which will fit everything in the input file, and outputs "file.pdf"
I had it as a .pdf but neither latex nor pdflatex complied the file so the graphic displayed.
If you use "convert" to do the job, I think you'll change everything into a raster format.
The workflow was as follows: 1) Display pdf in xpdf. 2) Print to file to produce .ps version 3) Run 'convert letterhead.eps -crop 345x140+75+180 crop.eps' 4) Adjust cropping parameters until the image looked good. 5) 'mv crop.eps letterhead.eps' Rich -- Richard B.
