This is specially cool when you want to see sharp text. And most of the times a PDF file is smaller than a JPG.

Instead of choosing a jpg file for a desktop background, you can also select a PDF file to use as desktop background.

More "how-to" details, please
How do you get a PDF file to be the right size and shape to use as a desktop picture? I tried opening a JPG and "printing" it to a PDF file, but that created a page-shaped doc that was white at the top and had the picture at the bottom.
Jump on into Photoshop!
You can use Photoshop or most other programs that can save in the PDF format to save a file of any size as PDF.

Thanks. Are you buying? :)
Not quite.
Being an artist whose favorite graphics program is Illustrator, one of the first things I tried upon installing X was to use an Illustrator 9 file as a backdrop - up to 8, Illustrator's native format was EPS, with 9 it changed to PDF, which is really just EPS with a new name and a few tweaks anyway.
Not quite.
Nope, I just did some semi-exhaustive testing (Illustrator 9-generated native .AI, ,PDF, and .EPS) and it still just completely failed to render properly... |
