Always import by reference. It keeps your application documents smaller and
lets you access original graphics for editing or replacement.
If you are sending a "file" out for printing, you are sending a PostScript
print file or PDF, right? Thus, I see no issue with files imported by
reference into the FrameMaker application files.
