There appears to be a problem with TeXmacs when inserting a PDF file as an image format:

1. Using the MS Windows version (1.0.7.18) the PDF image is inserted into the TeXmacs document, but the top and and right side of the image are chopped off slightly.

2. Using the Linux version (Ubuntu version 1.0.7.15) the file is not inserted at all. In fact, TeXmacs crashes when the PDF file name is selected/clicked using the pop-up file selection window accessed by Insert->Image->Insert image menu selection.

I would appreciate it if someone else would verify this issue and reply with feedback.

I was able to work around this issue by using the pdftops command on Linux to convert the PDF file to EPS and then import the resulting EPS file:

pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -eps filename.pdf

The above command converted the PDF file generated using the pdfcairo terminal of gnuplot to EPS which allows image insertion without any issues. This processing resulted in an export to PDF from TeXmacs with very good image quality.
