Maintaining image quality when not using pdfs

[HeartwoodRes]

Hey ChiefTalk, how's everyone doing?

 

I was having some issues with layout print attempts causing a program crash, which I learned was because I had 9 or 10 PDFs in my layout (boiler plate-type structural detail sheets that couldn't easily be copied into rich text). I had the idea to switch them all out for JPGs which fixed the problem, but as you all probably know, my final product from the print is just barely fuzzy. Is there a filetype besides JPG that doesn't stress out ChiefArchitect like PDFs do, while still maintaining sharp line quality on blueprint sized prints?

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

 

p.s. All my image files and PDFs are located on my computer internally, and aren't from an external source (Google Drive etc.). That was part of the original problem, which CA support helped me fix. I'll be calling them tomorrow as well to follow up, but ChiefTalk is always my first choice!

I have had relatively good success using .png files.  Should be pretty good if you start with a vector PDF.
