Raster
In Geographic Information Systems, a grid square Raster data are spatial data expressed as a matrix of cells, with spatial order indicated in the ordering of the cells. A raster map is a map stored as a regular array of cells; a raster scanner records an image by breaking it into pixels. Raster to vector conversion consists of changing an image made up of cells (rasters) into one made up of lines and polygons.
Vector data provide for high precision in representing the location of features. vector data can be used to define the location of a point, a line, and an area. A point is represented by a simple pair of coordinates.
- Vector Data model uses objects to represent and organize spatial features.
- The geometry (spatial data) of a feature is stored as an attribute along with other attributes in a record.

Illustrator is a vector based program that can export raster images.
raster image = monitor, laser printer or ink-jet printer vector image = graphics plotter
Raster and Vector
Vector does not lose quality when resized, which is ideal for logos.
Vector and Raster or pixel images.
Yes, partially. PDF encodes fonts and EPS graphics that are vector based. It also encodes images, in JPG format for example, which are raster based.
Three types of images are raster images, vector images, and vectorized raster images. Raster images are made up of pixels, while vector images are made up of paths and can be scaled without losing quality. Vectorized raster images are raster images that have been converted into vectors, combining the best of both worlds.
You have to use programs which support vector graphics and raster graphics, so you can save them in what format you would like? ex: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw you can use...

One can import both vector and raster/bitmap image formats into InDesign.
