Pdf _IS_ suitable for inserting into a paper or a report.  What makes you
think otherwise?  Jpeg is not suitable for figures with contrasting edges,
and png (because it doesn't scale) is a poor choice for figures that
consist of lines and text.

There are many good tools to do the conversions you mention, starting
with a pdf file.  It is easy to find these tools on the internet and
they are discussed in books such as "The LaTeX Graphics Companion".
