bitmap (disambiguation)
for vector images, there is no equivalent of resampling an image when it is resized, and there is no ppi in the file because it is resolution independent (prints equally well at all sizes). however, there is still a target printing size. some image formats, such as photoshop format, can contain both bitmap and vector data in the same file. adjusting the ppi in a photoshop file will change the intended printing size of the bitmap portion of the data and also change the intended printing size of the vector data to match. this way the vector and bitmap data maintain a consistent size relationship when the target printing size is changed. text stored as outline fonts in bitmap image formats is handled in the same way. other formats, such as pdf, are primarily vector formats which can contain images, potentially at a mixture of resolutions. in these formats the target ppi of the bitmaps is adjusted to match when the target print size of the file is changed. this is the converse of how it works in a primarily bitmap format like photoshop, but has exactly the same result of maintaining the relationship between the vector and bitmap portions of the data.
