CorelDraw Embedded Graphics

[Gagne, Bernard (Bolton)]

I would hasten to add EPS (with TIFF preview) to that list. You never
want to downgrade a vector graphic by rasterizing it. I have also had no
problems with PDF import into Frame, although the last time I checked
there were some problems with getting clean PDFs from Corel's own export
filters. I find it best to print to Adobe PDF directly.

I would  not use a metafile like wmf. There are always gotcha's hiding
in them, and they sometimes don't reproduce well. Using a pure graphic
format would be better, like png, gif, tiff, or the like.
