Sorta.  Adobe left the door open on this one, but they did make an
effort to narrow the field of choices.  I'd personally use a
TIFF-based preview section if I were concerned about space, and the
device-independent format if I were concerned about portability.

For those in the dark, read sections H.5 and H.6 of the BigRedBook
(ie. PLRM 2nd ed.)
