Preferring to stick with bitmap formats (like JPEG, TIFF, PNG) is likely to
give you the jagged lines and other distortions you profess to want to
avoid.

EPS (encapsulated postscript, which handles vector+bitmap) is one of the
graphic file formats preferred by most quality journals. Surprisingly, not
too many people seem to be aware of the fact that PDF "really" is a crippled
form of postscript.

Regards,
Mark.
