Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Graphic formats for screenshots
Yes, this is our practice also.
We use Autocad and SolidWorks drawings in our publications. But those tools
tend to make crappy images in raster formats (PNG, JPG). But recently we
started storing these images in PDF and using the FOP plug-in to use these
images in our PDF rendering. The output looks much better.
We also use as much SVG as possible. The only drawback is usually fonts of
text in these images may be rendered differently, depending on the renderer. An
example of this is when a drawing tool puts out an SVG and different tool picks
it up, the fonts are "approximated" sometimes. So SVG is not always the silver
bullet for us, but its really great on simple drawing images.
