PDFs and OPI

No, the FPO exists as long as the original exists. When a graphic is  
placed in the HiRes repository, a LoRes is generated on another  
volume. The LoRes is basically just a thumbnail that contains a  
resource with the path to the HiRes. When the composer places the  
LoRes in the ad, it looks just like the original, but is really small,  
like 12k. When the ad is imaged, the OPI system swaps in the HiRes  
into the ad on a machine that is connected more directly to the HiRes  
repository, significantly reducing network traffic.

We have used this system for years with EPS files and have only  
recently been getting ads containing PDFs.
