How to Choose the Right Image File Format for Print

[Carol J. Elkins]

Here is a really good article (I think) about the various graphic 
file formats and when to use and not use them.

I've read dozens of similar articles and this one stands out for its clarity.

This past year I've been using native Illustrator files in my 
Framemaker documents almost exclusively and am really happy with the 
decision. I previously had used a lot of imported PDF files as 
graphics and although they generally did not cause any mishaps, 
occasionally I'd have some seriously wonky problems with PDFs 
generated from Framemaker files that had PDF files imported by 
reference. Just curious as to whether others are using native 
Illustrator or Photoshop files instead of traditional .tif, eps, or 
(gasp) jpg formats.
