I use RoboHelp HTML for HTML pages. I've been using .BMP
for both help and Frame to .PDF, but I didn't know if that was the answer.
The developers receive the graphics (really for on screen display) in .BMP
format from the artist.
Someone responded:
<<Some versions of Acrobat actually condensed images, compressing them
during the PDF process, so GIFs, which are already compressed, <<come out
unreadable.
<<If size doesn't matter, I'd use .BMPs, especially if you are taking screen
shots. BMP's screen shots look much clearer in my RoboHelp <<system ,than
JPEGs or GIFs.
Another person says:
<<.BMP format is the the lowest-quality format you can save a picture or
<<graphic in. If at all possible, save the file in .GIF or .JPG or .PNG
**BEFORE** you
<<save it in .BMP format.
