Hello,
i'm trying to include a pdf file in a large document, a paper that was
published in my MSc thesis in Lyx 1.4.4 in Windows. I tried including this with
pdfpages. I first put \usepackage{pdfpages} in the preamble. I managed to get
this to work, with an ERT command with the rather obscure but somehow necessary
path format:
\includepdf[pages=1-6]{//./c:/dir/pdffile}
without the .pdf extension. So far so good. However, for this to work i have to
use pdflatex instead of one of the other formats. Now my problem is, i get
error messages when using pdflatex. For all my .eps figures, the following
error message appears:
An error occurred whilst running epstopdf
--outfile="3D__dirigent_verslag_verslagdi
And with a similar error for all .eps figures. All other figures and the pdf
file include just fine. The error message seems to get cut off at the end. Does
anyone have an idea what could be wrong and how to fix it?
I tried an alternative to pdfpages, by just converting the pdf file to ps with
the pdf2ps command, then using psselect to get the separate pages and including
those into Lyx. However, this doesn't work either. The pages i need to include
do appear in the Lyx user interface, however not in any output format. If i try
to include a pdf directly lyx says there is no converter to convert a pdf file
to the eps format.
So, does anyone have a solution for me? If all else fails i can just combine
the pdf file with the pdf file of the thesis later, but i'd like it to work
directly.
Regards,
Pieter
