I would hasten to add EPS (with TIFF preview) to that list. You never want to downgrade a vector graphic by rasterizing it. I have also had no problems with PDF import into Frame, although the last time I checked there were some problems with getting clean PDFs from Corel's own export filters.

CorelDraw Embedded Graphics
I have a Frame document with several embedded CorelDraw graphics. In some of the graphics, the text is very choppy. That is, each letter is a series of short lines. This text looks very bad. In other CorelDraw graphics in the same document, the text is fine. Does anyone have any ideas when or why this happens, or how to avoid it.
