I am not sure how correct my information is, but here's how I have
managed to adapt to the graphics situation:

- I use pdfjadetex (from the jadetex package). It seems to produce
  somewhat smarter PDF with links etc.
- For vector graphics, I use PDF as a graphics format.
- For bitmaps, I use PNG.

If you are using jadetex instead, I think that the safest graphics
format is PS or EPS.

HTH,
