Dear LyX Users, I've run into a bit of a problem and I am wondering if anyone else has seen it before. I'm trying to compile test documents on Windows with LyX 2.0 and MikTeX 2.8. The documents all compile without trouble, but I'm having a devil of a time with PDF images.
The document converter is being tremendously finicky with any PDF that is greater than version 1.4. Versions 1.5 and 1.6 (which are created by most applications by default) are simply not included in the output. When I look at the output (from LyX debug window), it says that it is unable to find a compatible converter. In the final PDF, there is a space for the graphic that is the right size, but the actual graphic does not appear. It's just a big white rectangle. Does anyone know what the root of the problem is? Is this is LyX issue, or a MikTeX issue, or a Ghostscript issue? Or do I need to add a converter somewhere? (Converting all of the offending PDFs to version 1.4 really isn't an option, there are several hundred of them.) This problem only appears on Windows. Compiling the exact same document in Ubuntu or Mac OS X works just fine. (Which makes me believe its a MikTeX problem.) Anyone seen something similar and come up with a way to remedy the problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Rob
