Step 2. Convert EMF to SVG

• When you do the conversion, please refer to the following command line templates.
  Usage: emf2vec [options] <emf-file> [<out-file>]
  When you need to convert EMF to SVG, please refer to the following command line templates.
  emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.svg
  

emf2vec.exe C:\*.emf C:\*.svg
When you need to convert emf to svg in batch, you can write bat file or use wild character *.

• When you need to specify width and height, please refer to the following command line template.
  emf2vec.exe -width 800 -height 600 C:\in.emf C:\out.svg
  

-width <int>        : Set page width to PDF file
-height <int>     : Set page height to PDF file

• When you need to resolution in X and Y directions, please refer to the following command line template.
  emf2vec.exe -xres 100 -yres 100 C:\in.emf C:\out.svg
  

-xres <int>         : Set X resolution to image file
  -yres <int>         : Set Y resolution to image file

• When you need to rotate input EMF file in some degree, please refer to the following command line template. And this function is really good when you need to make deskew emf file to straight output image file formats.
  emf2vec.exe -rotate 90 C:\in.emf C:\out.png
• And there is also a special parameter for SVG output –svgnoclip. By this parameter, you can remove clipping during converting SVG. And this parameter is only available when output is SVG file formats.

Some Knowledge About SVG

Here I will share some knowledge about SVG file format, hoping it will be helpful for you in future use of this software.  SVG is short for Scalable Vector Graphics which is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics that has support for interactivity and animation.

Compare with other image file formats, SVG can be edited and modified. Now this file format is widely used on website design. SVG is text-based and when you use a graphics editor to produce an image, the program takes a picture of your completed artwork. If you use SVG, situation will go different. SVG can be edited by some applications like editing image by text.

By the above parameters, you can specify output svg margins in four directions.

• Meanwhile, you can also specify width and height to control output size.
  emf2vec.exe -width 612 -height 792 C:\in.emf C:\out.svg
  

-width <int>        : Set page width to output file
-height <int>       : Set page height to output file

By this software, you can also convert EMF file other file formats by the following examples.

  emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.pdf
   emf2vec.exe C:\in.wmf C:\out.pdf
   emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.emf
   emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.wmf
   emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.ps
   emf2vec.exe C:\in.emf C:\out.eps
