Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Text lost from PDF graphics

[glen sargeant]

I was using LaTeX (MiKTeX) and incorporating PDF graphics with no problems until I installed LyX and updated packages. Now when I include PDF graphics prepared with LaTeX, text in the graphics does not display. Where might I look for the cause of the problem and a solution?

For example, say I have a Beamer title page slide, temp.pdf, and the following document. In PDF output, the slide appears as it should... except without the header, footer, or title text, all of which display fine in temp.pdf. Note that the issue is not specific to Beamer: the same problem results if temp.pdf is the title page of an article.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{temp.pdf}
\end{document}

Your descriptions alone aren't very useful [1]. The problem is not comprehensible without a concrete example file that causes the undesired effect. Check the log file for warnings.

How was temp.pdf produced? Are the fonts embedded in it?

Thanks, Frabjous. I figured the problem was with the pdf display and not with my code, and your hint was all I needed.

To summarize for the benefit of others who may encounter a similar problem, fonts embedded in my master document (prepared with LaTeX prior to updating packages) couldn't handle my inserts (prepared with LaTeX prior to updating packages). Generating new copies of the inserts rectified the situation. Not a very elegant solution, but effective!

Now that the problem is solved please act according to the directions in my last reply.
