Tiff works outside of Adobe and has lossless compression while supporting layers. It's mostly a thing of the old print generation dudes that are used to QuarkXpress and needed to shuffle things around multiple ecosystems. That's why.
You should not use JPG for high quality print work, esp. not with fonts included. Scanners depend on Tiff because they can use it without licensing anything and it has lossless, like said above.

- yea u can pump the dpi, but im pretty sure it still renders it as a high quality jpg. i could be wrong, but by looking that seems like how it worksdeathboy
- sometimes the internal mechanisms of PDFs vex me especially if you have to open them in illy to make changes.deathboy
