WMF to PDF

Put Windows clip art on a one-page PDF for an office document or review. Supported drawing records are rasterized, so the original shapes are not editable.

Format Overview & Applications

An old office illustration may still be embedded in a presentation as WMF; converting gives teams a page they can review even when current tools do not edit that metafile.

Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown

The WMF reader maps its supported drawing records into SVG; absent an Aldus placeable header it starts with an 800×600 viewBox, then rasterizes that SVG at 150 dpi for PDF embedding.

OS & Browser Compatibility

Older Office and Windows graphics tools can edit WMF records; PDF software displays the raster page produced from the subset of records this converter understands.

Useful info

Check scale when the file has no Aldus placeable header: this conversion uses an 800×600 default drawing area in that case.

Format Comparison & Technical Specifications

A WMF with no placeable bounds uses the default 800×600 drawing area, which maps to an 11.1×8.3 inch PDF page at 150 dpi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is some clip art missing?

Only the drawing records implemented by the WMF reader are mapped into the SVG image; unsupported records may not appear in the PDF.

Can I edit individual shapes in the PDF?

The SVG drawing is rasterized before it reaches the PDF writer, so the page does not contain editable WMF shape records.
