Emily, Any discussion on this should be related to how the graphic files and PDF files are handled in Legacy.....
If you want to include the pictures in reports, then they need to be in a graphic format. PDF files can't be included in reports and web pages and there's no change to that in v8. There are some changes in how multimedia files are handled in v8.
