Hi Mike,

yes, the EPS images are very old and they are no real vector graphics.
If you could propose 2 better EPS images whose are actually real vector 
graphics, we could use them. Note: the license of these images has to be 
under the GPL version 2 or later to be used with LyX. So if you like you 
could propose 2 EPS that you have created by yourself in inkscape.

This works because you used a never PDF version. Older PDF viewers might 
not be able to open them. You used PDF version 1.5 (requires Acrobat 
version 6 (released in 2003) or newer).
I think that nowadays all popular PDF programs can handle version 1.5 
but we cannot assure that. So I'll update the PDFs as you proposed.

Note: I get font errors (missing fonts) from current Adobe reader for 
your PDFs.

This PDF is an excerpt of a PDF created using a special scientific 
document class. This class requires certain fonts and uses other 
kernings than the default. So yes, it looks not perfect but the aim of 
the PDF is just to show how an abstract could look.

I'll have a look.
