I have a problem generating PDFs from Lyx. I want to make reports using Lyx but I cannot get my images right. The graphs that go in the reports are PNGs (converted from SVGs). When I use the dvipdfm or ps2pdf method to generate the pdf reports, I get ugly compression artifacts on my graphs. I presume this is because those two methods convert my PNG to jpeg/eps before embedding it in the PDF.
Don't make a nice vector into a bitmap unnecessarily.
So, I want to use the pdflatex function which is able to use the PNG directly and embed it without compression artifacts. Problem: All PNGs embedde by pdflatex have an ugly black border on the right and bottom of the image. I have no idea what causes this or how to fix it. Any idea's?
Convert from the svg to a .pdf and place that instead. William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications
