I recently discoverd the tips at the end of the math manual. Ther are several things which are not completely wright according to those instrauctions, but it's hard to change it all now.
No problem, my annotations are only tips. Typography is only important when you plan to publish your text as book or so. (As it seems to be a text for students, you can hire a student to do the formatting for you - this is the usual way it work here at my university.)
Some figure where made with an vector graphics package, but most where made with a paint program. Does an export from vectorgraphics to PDF really conserve the 'elasticity' of the vector graphics?
A PDFimage can be both, pixel and vector format. When you create a PDF from a vector image, the "elasticity" is preserved. So when you convert from SVG, WMF, EMF, AI, or EPS format to PDF you get a vector image. For example the program "Inkscape" can convert from SVG to PDF, "Acrobat", "eps2pdf", or "Ghostscript" can convert from EPS to PDF, "Adobe Illustrator" can convert from EPS and AI to PDF, and via the program "Metafile2eps" (comes with LyX on Windows) in combination with an EPS to PDF converter program you can convert WMF and EMF to PDF. regards Uwe
