Hello, I am running Lyx 2.0.0 on Windows 7. When I import a figure created in 
Visio but saved as an emf file, it converts and appears ok in the Lyx editor. 
However, if I try to view the generated pdf file, adobe reader sits and thinks 
for a very long time before it is able to display the page containing the 
graphis. When it finally does, the figure appears vastly blown up in size. I 
need to scale it down in Lyx to about 20% of the original size to get it to 
fit, and even then reader will labor for a very long time beofre displaying 
the page (and sometimes omits the figure entirely). I never noticed this 
problem before b/c I used to give Lyx the eps file, converted from emf by a 
3rd party tool which is unf. no longer free :-( so i am reliant on the built-
in convertor now. Any ideas?

cheers
PS my current workaround is to get visio to save it as a jpg which I import 
into Lyx. This works ok but doesn't produce as sharp an image
