What is the conventional wisdom on TIFF vs PDFs? Is one more stable, better resolution, better at migrating to newer releases, etc. I have heard mixed reviews with no clear "winner" on which is the preferred format. Your advice is most appreciated! Thanks to all of you who responded to "how far is far enough" too!
