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?

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

PNGs are small files too. What's not to like? For screenshots, the quality
difference between a jpeg and a png is really obvious. Jpeg just isn't designed
for sharp boundaries.
If you've got a heap of legacy files, you need a batch conversion tool. There
may be great free ones out there, but
