Thank you for the info. I looked through the .lyx files to find a small one for illustrating the problem, but there is no small example :-( The whole document consists of 2 .lyx files and 42 pictures - that is 25MB in all. Compressed it is 1.3MB large. Is it allowed to attach such a large file to a bug report? The next problem is that I don't have an original PDF of the document. I just have the 80 page paper. But I think it can be seen easily that the page boundaries are violated.
@Murat It seems the document does not use the geometry package, but just includes some eps/ps files.
