I assume this is a bitmap image wrapped into PDF?

I cannot reproduce here. Tried inserting a scaled one-page PDF document (without wrapping in a float). The output of PDF (pdflatex), PDF (ps2pdf), and PDF (dvipdfm) is exactly the same (with proper scaling of the indcluded graphic). > DVI didn't produce a pdf at all, even though LyX claimed successful > import to pdf. I don't understand this.

It might also depend on * the content of the EPS or PDF figure, and * the PDF -> EPS conversion program (as for the ps2pdf route, LyX converts the input file from PDF to EPS, latex generates a DVI with a reference to the EPS file, dvips embedds it into the generated PS file and ps2pdf converts the PS file to PDF).
