Okay, our printer is happy with the PDF output of the LyX document. That means that after the publisher's graphiker is done prepping the images that I will place them in the book using his eps/tiff files.
I did a couple tests. For some reason I don't have tiff2ps installed, so I am using ImageMagick's "convert" instead. (In preferences for : "convert $$i PS:$$o") The DVI output looks fine, but if I view the resulting PDF file at 400% magnification I see subtle compression artifacts that are not there in the DVI version at similar magnification. What I am wondering: is this okay? I'm guessing that Adobe Reader compresses the image in a way appropriate to the output device (in this case the 72 ppi screen) in order to improve redraw time. Looking at the resulting EPS in Gwenview it seems to be okay. And next week the printer will also run a test from a PDF with placed images, just to be safe. Any other things to watch out for? I'm guessing that if I want to preserve the option to resize the images that I should get them back from the grafiker as tiffs instead of as eps's? Or am I asking something too far afield here? I also discovered the hard way that to use captions I need to use Float->Figure and then place the image inside that (well, maybe I had read further in the manual...). Thanks in advance, for help, tips, etc. (not to mention LyX)! -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
