Thank you everyone for this discussion. I understand things better now. I will now tend to only use JPEG files unless absolutely necessary.

RE: [LegacyUG] Best way to rename pdf files used within Legacy?
Mike is correct. Consider the fact that a Microsoft Word Document can also contain JPEG images, trying to add a .DOC or .DOCX file to the Picture Center is the same as trying to add a .PDF. They are NOT images but rather containers that may or may not have images inside of them. The Picture Center is working just fine in this regard.

RE: [LegacyUG] Best way to rename pdf files used within Legacy?
From: da...@schmeckabernathy.com There is no Microsoft image format thst I am aware of. Can you name any that are? The issue here seems to be that embedded images are regularly transported via a PDF file. I have certainly been supplied with many scanned images and documents that were created as PDF files. Depending on context, I sometimes convert them to a JPG copy for ease of display, but such duplication into another format is somewhat untidy from a database point of view.

There are very few programs that will make or even open these files. The WMF is a video file that some sites use by very few. There are many more NON priority type of file. Yes there are some Wizards that come with scanners that use the pdf by default, and every one of them need to be trashed.
