I know this is somewhat of a repost, but I was wondering if someone would just give me a confirmation that the iSEDQuickPDF library in fact does not actually convert EMFs to PDFs. I have tried many different EMFs, some seemed to get part of the image but most seem to not get any of the image. I am using version 5.21 since it appears to be the last version available that has the Delphi 7 DCUs.

Has anyone ever successfully converted an EMF to a PDF?

I've successfully added both WMF and EMF to PDFs using AddImageFromStream(). However they do not work if they contain bitmaps. Whether this is a bug in QP or a limitation in PDF I'm not sure.

I would be interested to know if anyone knows a way to test if a metafile contains a bitmap? QP returns success when adding and drawing the metafile, also one can find the size from QP, but nothing renders, with QP or Reader.

Had a look through uPDFMetafile.pas and found that all vector and text metafile records seem to be correctly dealt with, all bitmap records are however ignored. Not truly a bug I guess, just a limitation.
