This document discusses different formats for images, text, and multimedia files. It explains that image files are either raster-based, made up of pixels that cannot be scaled without distortion, or vector-based, storing images as mathematical formulas that can be scaled. Common raster formats include JPEG, JPEG 2000 and TIFF, while common vector formats are DXF, EPS, CGM and shapefiles. Text files are often created in word processors and can be in proprietary, RTF, or PDF formats. Video and audio files contain moving images and sound, stored in proprietary formats like QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG, AVI and WAV.
