I was setting a friend's letter in LyX and attempted to include an EPS of
their signature in the 'signature' of the letter template so that the PDF
would look like a real letter.  Unfortunately (or possibly, as expected),
the result was that the PDF included the blank space which is normally a
part of 'signature', producing a very unprofessional output.

I was wondering if there was a file I could modify which would allow me to
manipulate the blank space in 'signature' so that any inserted EPSs would
fit in naturally.  I suppose that I could cut out 'signature' etc and just
typeset the letter with loads of protected blanks and lines, but I'm sure
there must be a more elegant solution.

I looked for visible and invisible files called 'signature', but found
nothing LaTeX related.  The preferences must be buried very deep.

As it was, I photoshopped the whole deal with good visual results, but
somewhat embarrassingly turned the original 16KB LyX PDF into a 4MB
Photoshop monster.  Hmmm�

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful, even it is just to say how I
might tame Photoshop.
