Re: PDF error converting to loadable format
Thanks for this. By following your instructions I managed to a) see the pdf in lyx on screen and b) generate a DVI file. But the place where the pdf should be is empty. If however I c) try to generate a pdf from pdflatex, lyx just goes into an endless loop, from which I can only exit by forcing a program quit.

I'm using Komascript Book under lyx 1.6.4 on ubuntu 9.04. Try putting the pdf file in the temp. folder of your lyx file. Long time ago I found from the mailing list that lyx doesn't copy the pdf file into the temp. directory automatically therefore you get an error. I don't know if there was some other fix to this but I just copy the pdf file that I want to attach manually in the temp. folder and this works. Regards, Kamran

There is no such thing as ghostscript 8.7 on official Ghostscript site: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ On the other hand there is not link on old site to new site: http://www.ghostscript.com/ However on one of CTAN mirrors there is 8.71: ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/ghostscript/GPL/gs871/ Has anyone know whether mentioned bug is corrected in 8.71? -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl

The same (almost) here. In my case most of the ".pdf"s won't appear but a few will do. But, as you say, the compile ok in the final pdf. Nikos
PDF error converting to loadable format
I have a horrible feeling I have asked this before, but on Ubuntu 9.10 Lyx won't show PDF images in the document (they compile OK). They show up on Windows OK, so I assume its some set up on Linux that I need to tweak. Can someone point me in the right direction. Many thanks, Graham
