PDF and EPS are vector files meaning they are mathematical coordinates with instructions for each piece, which is why they can be edited and altered and the size changed with no loss of detail. .JPGs and BMP and TIFFs are like photos and can lose most of there detail when enlarged. like they do on a photocopier. Hope that enlightens people.
