Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lyx
I'm writing a scientific thesis with LyX on Windows and Ubuntu.
I started on Windows, included a bunch of EPS graphics - worked well.
Back on Ubuntu, no PDF could be rendered, because there was no
EPS-to-PDF-converter,. And i thought "What the hell, EPS is _the_ vector
graphics format".
Lots of users are hit by this - EPS support is a must-have in a GUI LaTeX
front-end like LyX.
Solution: Install epstopdf (It's in package texlive-extra-utils).
LyX should depend on epstopdf or at least recommend it.
Note: ps2pdf is not a solution because
a) it will merciless crop away parts of your graphic lying outside where
ps2pdf thinks the page ends
b) if you made your graphics smaller so it isn't cropped, you will get white
space around your graphics. ps2pdf won't fit the pdf to your graphic.
epstopdf just does what's expected.
** Affects: lyx (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- lyx should depend on epstopdf
+ lyx should depend on EpsToPdf
