Re: Re: LyX: How to insert a doc with tabs?
Jürgen, thanks for the hints! I decided to use the pdfpages package, but the success so far is just minor: pdfpages cannot be used for DVI output -- is that right? View/DVI produces an error Package pdfpages error: You produce DVI output but PDF output ... I think the message should go on... giving the advice Set output to PDF. (use: \pdfoutput = 1). I put this in my preamble (\pdfoutput = 1), but it did not help. For this reason, I tried to produce a PDF via View/PDF (pdflatex), but this does not work eiter: LyX: cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex). I added the missing viewer to the PDF (pdflatex) entry under Tools/Preferences/File formats. This starts the viewer (kpdf) after the PDF was created, but the file seems to be corrupted (Could not open file ...). pdftotext tells me: Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Error: Couldn't read xref table The solution I would best prefer would allow me to use latex instead of pdflatex, enabling me to continue using all the eps images I have already in the doc.

Re: Re: LyX: How to insert a doc with tabs?
Jürgen,
thanks for the hints! I decided to use the pdfpages package, but the success so
far is just minor:
pdfpages cannot be used for DVI output -- is that right? View/DVI produces an
error "Package pdfpages error: You produce DVI output but PDF output" ... I
think the message should go on... giving the advice "Set output to PDF. (use:

help.
For this reason, I tried to produce a PDF via View/PDF (pdflatex), but this
does not work eiter: "LyX: cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF
(pdflatex)". I added the missing viewer to the PDF (pdflatex) entry under
Tools/Preferences/File formats. This starts the viewer (kpdf) after the PDF was
created, but the file seems to be corrupted ("Could not open file ...").
pdftotext tells me:
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
The solution I would best prefer would allow me to use latex instead of
pdflatex, enabling me to continue using all the eps images I have already in
the doc. (As far as I understood from the recent discussion pdflatex does not
support eps) -- Is this possible?
Thanks again & looking forward to new advices ;)

Does that also happen with a simple document, or does it only happen if you

Yes and no. pdflatex alone can not use eps, but LyX will convert eps images
for you if you have them in your LyX document and create a pdf with
pdflatex.

w/o pdfpages the output is readable, but there are devastating things done to
my images in terms of size, rotation, quality, and even rendering of shadings.
