Error converting to loadable format
Is there a fix for this?
I'm pretty sure LyX passes the PDF file to ImageMagick to convert to
PPM, and I'm pretty sure ImageMagick uses Ghostscript to do the
conversion. Do you have a working copy of Ghostscript installed? As a
test, open a command shell in a directory where you have a PDF image
(call it fig.pdf), make sure the IM directory is on your command path,
and run 'convert fig.pdf fig.ppm'. If you are set up correctly, you
should get a file fig.ppm containing the correct image.
