[help-texinfo] getting the vector version of an image into a PDF

[Rick Jones]

Folks,

Until now I've only used texinfo for the netperf manual 
(http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk/doc/netperf.html et al) and 
so the issue of images in documents wasn't a big deal.  Now though I've 
written a document which includes images, and I'm curious to know how to 
get it to use the scalable version of the images I've created rather 
than the bitmapped when creating the PDF.  While not necessarily 
trashing what is done when creating the HTML version.

I'm creating the PDF version via:

texi2pdf --batch -o hf_sflow_counters.pdf hf_sflow_counters.texi

The installed version of texinfo is 4.13a.dfsg.1-6ubuntu3 and the .texi 
file along with everything else associated with the document can be 
found under:

ftp://ftp.netperf.org/papers/high_freq_sflow

Looking at 
http://www.gnu.org/s/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Image-Syntax  I 
got the impression that adding the extension to the @image would cause 
that to be looked at first, but straces of texi2pdf showed it looking 
for png exclusively.

thanks,
