However, pdf (and SVG) allow the image to be scaled with = little loss in image quality. In my lab we typically save the images in = pdf because the most biomedical journals don=E2=80=99t accept SVG file = format (not yet). Thanks, M PS Since emacs can display SVG, we are planning to use this as our = default file format during the manuscript generation stage, and then = convert to pdf at the end (just before submitting) > On Apr 9, 2017, at 6:06 PM, Eduardo Mercovich = wrote: >=20 > Hi Marvin. >=20 >> For manuscripts, my research group and I typically save images in pdf = format, much better resolution.

So, if you have a 2000x2000 px jpg, putting = it inside a pdf will not add resolution (nor lower it, if it's not = compressed), but just add a wrapper around it.

You can produce pdf from svg: both are = vector images and are resolution independent. But emacs con show svg = files directly (see = https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=3Dhttps-3A__www.emacswiki.org_e= macs_EmacsSvg&d=3DDwIDaQ&c=3Dkbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r= =3Ds3_3riAscdqtNAzgOuwYB9g0dZVGcp8BNCy_RylYdxU&m=3DToUr47iyS79VqRe2JGHpKEu= FdjOC7Ae_27eFPP0IW_w&s=3D7L3s6Qt1QD87OGVmmSwlgpqsI1HZOUvEVFP6izsIYmc&e=3D = ). >=20 > Best... > -- > eduardo mercovich >=20 > Donde se cruzan tus talentos con las necesidades del mundo, ah=C3=AD = est=C3=A1 tu vocaci=C3=B3n.
