Because it generates a bitmap file from your nice vector graphics one.
Prefer to generate a pdf file from eps (using epstopdf) because this
will retain the vector graphics nature of the file, meaning that it
will scale flawless

So now, for a solution - I converted the eps to pdf manually using
convert, that cuts off a good 1 in on the right side of the figure..
so I converted it to jpg instead and everything seems to be fine.. I'm
not sure why there's a problem with the eps figure - I generated it
using Adobe Illust

The converter is already defined.. it's epstopdf..
only a question: did you run
pdflatex --shell-escape
otherwise epstopdf cannot work

Well try using gs itself then. I attach my_pstoppm, a shell script
wrapper showi
convert is not a good choice for eps files.
I see..
eps to jpg makes only sense for _real_ pictures, but not for
drawings.
you can try to install VTeX/Free, which is very easy
I believe they don't have a version for powerpc yet.. :-(
Thanks,

You could try running your figure through GhostScript's epstoeps
utility. This will ensure that the eps file is well formed.
Tried this but I still get an error while using epstopdf..
"pdflatex looks for the pdf file in the current directory". To be
honest, I don't know, but this sounds probabl

You could use Imagemagick's convert, Sebastian Rahtz's epstopdf or
even gs itself. Your call ;-)
Well, there

Hi.. I'm trying to include a couple of eps figures in a presentation
using LyX and the pdfscreen documentclass. LyX doesn't seem to able to
convert the eps figures to pdf or any other format that pdflatex likes..
