Jay, Syble, et al, We are talking about horses for courses here. Yes, one can have a picture in the PDF file form but that is not the primary purpose of a PDF, which is primarily designed for reports and similar. A browser will open a PDF not in the browser page but in a separate PDF viewer according to that which you have installed on your PC.
So, in my view, images should be in an image format eg. jpg etc., whereas if one is publishing a report on a website then PDF is worth considering.

But that is my own personal opinion......

If so, then if that page is changed in anyway later, then it would be overwritten when I upload to the web and I'd have to redo the html for the pdf.
