Well I'm hoping it will be the answer anyways!

tex2pdf aims to run pdflatex on tex file ready for plain latex
(i.e. creating dvi) without altering the original.
Basically it
- copies all original tex files as -xxx.tex files (xxx defaults to pdf)
- converts all ps or eps graphics to pdf using esptopdf
(which lies with the latex binaries, as a perl scrip calling gs)
- inserts the hyperref commands described by the configuration files
(take the default if not done
In addition, it does all the necessary runs to cope with bibtex, index,
glossary, check for metapost files, and gives a try (this is not
stable yet) to psfrag part.
So it does pdflatex for you, that means that you should not
take steps on your own by including pdftex option of graphicx
(I.m not really sure for this) or hyperref itself.
You're message about input stack size is puzzling,
first time I see it. I had to increase pool size and memory
dur tu hyperref buffering needs.
All seems correct up to there, you may run with -debug option
and see directly what's wrong with the -pdf files, because
this message kills the first pdflatex run, so that bibtex cannot work.
As this belongs rather to tex2pdf than to lyx, I Cc my answer
to the tex2pdf list.

Re: Importing graphics from pdf files
In case you're wondering where to get pdfimages and pdftotext, they're part of xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). Herbert, perhaps this could be added to your lyx help pages?

Re: Importing graphics from pdf files
Hi, Thanks to everyone who replied. I have subscribed to the lists now, so there is no need to reply to my email anymore :). I have tried to use pdfimages, and it gave me no results. I have tried it with two files, one produced absolutely nothing, and the other produced a many files, which all turned out to be gray rectangles (of a size that the image would have been). I am running ver 1.00 of xpdf, so it is quite up to date. Is there something I am doing wrong, I used it like this : pdfimages -l 1 /home/vlad/PDF/figures all the directories exist, and I get no error messages, just no images in the directory... How do I do it? I *really* need to import these figures. Thanks, Vlad.
