What I do is split the .pdf into separate pages using pdftk (i.e., $pdftk figures.pdf burst ). Then, I convert the resulting pages into high res images with convert. I use a command such as: $convert -colorspace RGB -interlace none -density 800 -quality 100 pg_0003.pdf figure01.jpg Then, I crop the images as needed. That way, I have the separate images saved, and they are in a format that plays well with MS. -Jacob

I found another solution: \usepackage{pgfpages} \pgfpagesuselayout{resize to}[a4paper,landscape,border shrink=5mm] although this is not quite as large as I'd like. Maybe I can learn the pdfpages options and improve it.
resize equation output
I have the misfortune to be commanded to produce ppt. So I took one of my equations, in lyx. I chose beamer so I get something that'll look good on a slide. I put \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty so crop will work. When exported export/pdf(crop), it looks OK, but it's too small. I import to M$ PPT by opening in acroread and copy file to clipboard. So I need something that'll resize the pdf (or convince lyx/beamer to output something bigger in the first place). I tried the latter without success. Putting in preamble \geometry{paper=a4paper} didn't seem help. Finally, I found this magic incantation: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=a5 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage - dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -o eq1_2.pdf eq1.pdf Then run through pdfcrop Finally, not a bad result (oh, did you want that centered on the slide?) Any better ideas?
