I still don't buy that. You send a printer a PDF. That is a vector graphic document. You send it to them in a PDF so it prints exactly what you give them. Yes, professional printers are different than home printers. They are far more complex and yes, I did have a problem with converting from RGB

Is there a way in Lyx to automatically convert all eps and pdf vector graphics to PNG bitmap format? For printing, my publisher asked me to provide a PDF file without vector graphics as this might cause some problems. Instead they asked me to convert all vector graphics to PNG format with 600

More to the point, why is a publisher unable to print a PDF? That seems incredibly suspicious as someone who has worked with printers. There are also lots of applications which will do this conversion. Inkscape and gimp come to mind. ~Ben On Sun, Jun 22, 2014 at 11:38 AM, Wolfgang Engelmann

Make sure though that if you chose ImageMagic that you are getting results that you can live with. In many of my attempts to use it resulted in horrible outputs. I use something called Poppler http://superuser.com/questions/185880/how-to-convert-a-pdf-document-to-png BTW. If you search for

Thank you both for your comments. Is there a way to do the conversion directly in Lyx, i.e. while lyx is generating the PDF output, not as a shell command? Lyx can convert many image formats on the fly - maybe this feature can be used to detect and convert EPS to PNG? That would be easier to

To understand why that shouldn't happen you actually have to understand that you are specifically doing something which is both strange and backwards. The reason that EPS, PS, and PDF files work so well with Latex and Lyx is because PDFs are vector based graphics. Converting an EPS and a PS
