Are the PSD documents degraded in PDFs or only on screen in FrameMaker?
If the former, I'd say export to PNG. Resizing in FrameMaker by
changing DPI has no effect on image resolution.

SnagIt can do all those things but not with the same flexibility one can get

Secondly, when you export the file from illustrator to PSD, when you open it in
Photoshop, why not use the File Save as Web function and specify PNG as the
converted output.

Interesting ideas. I'm not going to quite that length between Illustrator and
Photoshop. What I create in Illustrator I just copy and paste into Photoshop as
a smart object. This removes any resolution discrepancies between the two.

I use SnagIt to capture all my images as PNGs, then I import by reference

Same here.
I think SnagIt is an excellent tool and well worth the money.
If the image/drawing I want to capture is large (or vectorized), I try to
maximise it as much as reasonable (native, without jaggies) on the 1920x1200
screen I use before the screen capture.
This makes the PNG capture
No, if you import at screen resolution, you're almost always throwing away
pixels. Your screen captures typically have to be shrunk to fit on the page in
your doc. You want to shrink them by squeezing the existing pixels closer
together, not by throwing some of them away.
When you import a
OK this is very interesting. I was under the assumption that you should keep
the resolution of the picture at the resolution of the screen, and then import
it in also at that resolution. I was not aware that changing the import
resolution was advisable.

To quote the classic TV commercial: Stop! You're both right!
When speaking of raster images, the resolution is the *number* of pixels. It is
*not* the pixel pitch, whihc ius what we're used to thinking of as resolution

You create a book of text insets that have the same conditions, tags, etc. as
your the file into which you want to pull the insets - the container files.
Then you only have to point to/pull in the same inset multiple times. Text
insets inherit all the properties of their container
