Broken links Risk of broken links,if the No broken links.

original image location
changes.

Portability Easier to share and manage Document is self contained

images seperately and portable.
If multiple copies of the same image are required to be inserted in the document, it is
beneficial to save the link of image instead of inserting the image. Inserting a link,
stores its reference instead of the image itself, there by reduces the size of the
document, because actual image
is saved only once as a separate file along with the document.
