In fact, PDF is converted to EPS when imported into FrameMaker.

I had never tried opening PDFs in FrameMaker. Upon seeing the above statement from Dov, it piqued my curiosity and I gave it a try. I converted an EPS graphic to EPS and imported it.

It appears there are advantages to using PDF graphics instead of EPS graphics-- including a much smaller file on disk, faster load time, and a preview image that is nice and clear instead of grossly pixelated. It makes me want to switch my graphics from EPS to PDF, but it's probably too good to be true. Are there disadvantages that I am overlooking-- particularly any that might relate to handling of CMYK?

I'm on Windows XP Pro, using FrameMaker 7.1p116, producing output intended for press.
