Exactly this one! (The preview image is also incorrectly chopped the same way,
but I don't care about it).
I would like to use the pdf figures directly, is it possible?
Yes. (As well as SVG, xfig and a lot of others.)
How?
Set the right converter in Tools>Preferences>Converters
I have e.g. here on my Debian Gnu/Linux system:
PDF (ps2pdf) -> EPS pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -eps $$i $$o
Why I would need a converter when pdflatex can use unconverted pdfs? There is
also no converter listed for PDF -> PNG that I could remove.
This is supposed to work - just "insert->graphics" and give
the filename of your pdf. "view->pdflatex" or "export->pdflatex"
should not convert it in any way!
Perhaps you could post a small (single-page) lyx file
with a small pdf figure for us to look at here?
