Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to export a couple of graphs to pdf . Postscript would be fine too, but I'm using odd page dimensions, which seem to be overwritten when using the "ps2pdf" command. I'm using the pdfpages package in LaTeX to put 6 graphs onto one page (this is why it ought to be a pdf in the end).

I have two problems:

1. I'm using "arrows" to add error bars to the plots and they come out all misplaced. I've read in older posts that this might be solved using Acrobat Reader, but would this mean that I have to teach LaTeX (Lyx) somehow to use Acrobat too?

2. I'm also using a legend that includes some dots (pch=1, pch=19), which pdf obviously doesn't understand and plots little q symbols instead (postscript will understand these symbols). Do I have to load a certain font to get it to work?

Joanne
