Why is SVG better than WMF or EMF? I don't like embedding Visio files, so I save as WMF and insert the WMF. It seems to work fine and keeps the lines perfectly sharp (since WMF is partially a vector format.) Is there a good reason to switch to SVG? Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer

The cloudy artifacts that JPG puts around text may not be noticeable if you save the JPG at highest quality, but the more compression you use, the more annoyingly obvious it becomes. I believe the original poster in this thread said that the document was intended for the Web, and since it is

Quite frankly, I don't know of anyplace where Adobe as a company officially recommends GIF for any graphics. And JPEG certainly is not recommended by Adobe for anything other than photographic images, i.e. imagery that would not be more readily represented via text and/or vector graphics. And

H. My experience is with WinXP (hey, if it works don't break it). I did test prints of screen captures as pngs and high-quality jpegs. The pngs were *much* sharper, esp when printed out. Then again, I was capturing text-heavy GUI screens, not webpages, and it was WinXP. Probably be a

If you are talking about JPEG 2000, I would agree. I still find that adding annotations on a JPG (unless one uses no compression), leaves artifacts, which are especially noticeable when they get scaled. If you are not scaling and not annotating directly on the image, then JPG is probably not a bad

It was the 8-bit (256 color) PNG files that were a problem in FrameMaker. They would add all 256 colors to the document color palette, which could be annoying. It seems as though most graphics programs no longer have an 8-bit option when saving png, 24-bit only these days, which do not mess with
