processing file that can include text, images, and drawings in a
single file.
NOTE:
Not all the functions support all the file formats. See the
individual sections, listed at the left, for specifics.
Using the PDF File Format
A file format created by Adobe that lets you view varied content on
different platforms and display devices. PDF is independent of the
application software, hardware, and operating system; all of the text,
fonts, images, and 2-D vector graphics are all included in the file.
Advantages to using PDF:
•
Creates the most compact file format.
•
Viewable and printable on any platform — Macintosh, Microsoft®
Windows®, UNIX®, and many mobile platforms.
•
Maintains information integrity: Adobe PDF files look exactly like
original documents and preserve source file information — text,
drawings, 3D, full-color graphics, photos, and even business logic
— regardless of the application used to create them.
Using the JPEG File Format
JPEG is a standardized way of compressing images. It is designed to
compress either full-color or grayscale images and works well on
photographs; not as well on lettering or line drawings.
Advantages to using JPEG:
•
Well-known raster image file format
•
Make image files smaller
