Thank you all for helping. I had to invest much more time than anticipated, but... I now have two pdf files of the old thesis - looking exactly like the printout. One I obtained by putting the disassembled thesis into a copier, which scanned it to a pdf (not very good quality). In a virtual machin

Thanks for your quick reply and sorry for the confusion. The .lyx document can be printed now, and every letter and picture is on the pages. So, in principle the main problem (text outside the page boundaries) is solved. But, the pdf file I can generate now has a different page number compared to

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.
