Re: LyX to pdf conversion

Hi Joerg, does it not work to set a4paper directly in tex2pdf? Which version of tex2pdf do you use? The current is 2.2.0 (released today). You can find it here: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tex2pdf/ Please, read the release information, too. Bye, Steffen On Sun, Aug 19, 2001 at 04:35:2

LyX to PDF (was: Why are EPS files so big?)

Some experience with LyX (LaTeX) and PDF: * Ghostscript's ps2pdf creates huge files due to the non-compression of bitmap images. Also, the file is ugly to view on-screen because the Type-1 (vector) fonts are sampled to Type-3 (bitmap) fonts. PDF readers can't use anti-alias
