It's a vector format.
It's hybrid. You can have a PDF that's just an embedded image (or embedded image and indexed invisible text). Or you can have one that's all vectors and text. Or somewhere inbetween.

That's what I call a vector format, most vector formats allow raster objects.
Fair enough.
I call it a combination format, because I think it's clearer.
PDF is a (more or less) high-res image file.
Also, any imbedded images aren't necessarily high-res.
Any other parts of that sentence we can deconstruct?
I couldn't help myself, I used to work on file format conversion.
Apple had Panther CDs available for purchase, and so I purchased. Hooray!
Hence the more-or-less. But now I'm trying to frame this as deconstruction-a-la-Derrida.
Well, to me the phrase "(more or less) high-res" implies a range from sorta-high-res to high-res. I.e. not low-res. But maybe medium-res.
That looks like a great price.
