About graphic file formats
Graphic file formats vary in how they
represent graphic information. Graphic
information can be represented as
either vector drawings or as bitmap
images. Some graphic file formats con-
tain only vector drawings or only bit-
map images, but many can include both
in the same file. For more information,
see File formats supported in Adobe
Illustrator and the Read Me file.
