Creating an Enhanced Metafile (EMF) File
EMF files consist of a sequence of Windows® graphics functions and are intended to be portable between Windows® applications. They contain vector and bitmap components and are generally used to store line-art, illustrations and content created in drawing or presentation applications.
EMF files are a serialized file format. A separate EMF file will be created for each page in the project. The individual file names will be appended with a number corresponding to the project page number. Choosing EMF output from a two-page project file as MyEMF will create two files, MyEMF_0001.emf and MyEMF_0002.emf.
1.Open the file you want as an EMF file and print it to the PDF Creator Plus 8 printer. This will send the pages to PDF Creator Plus's PDF builder application which is used to preview the pages, add new pages and annotate the pages. You can also open an existing PDF Creator Plus project ( .pnp file) you have previously saved.
2.Select File – Create Other File … from the menu. You can also click the Create Other File 
button on the Standard toolbar.
3.The Create File dialog will appear. By default, this dialog is set to create the type of file last created. The default is PDF upon installation. Use the Save as type combo box to choose Enhanced metafile (*.emf).
•Browse to the location where you wish to save the EMF files and enter the file name for your new EMF files.
•Make sure the Save as type is set to Enhanced metafile (*.emf).
•The Page Range options allow you to select a subset of pages that would be converted to EMF image files.
•The Color Mode options are disabled (grayed out), as they are not applicable to EMF files.
4.Press the Save button to create your EMF files. A progress dialog will appear as the files are being created. The progress dialog will close when all the files are created. The new files can now be opened in your favorite image viewer
Inserting an EMF file into Word Document
EMF files are designed to be portable between applications and a common use for these files is to be inserted into other documents.
1.To insert a placeable Enhanced Metafile into a Word document, select the Insert tab then the Pictures from the Illustrations section.
2.From the Insert Picture dialog that appears, browse to the location that contains the EMF file you want to insert. Select the EMF file and click the Insert button.
3.The metafile is added to the document. When you click on the image in the Word document, a black border will appear. With this border, you can move or resize the metafile. The Picture tab is highlighted with common actions for inserted pictures. A Layout Options menu is also shown with options for aligning the image with text in the document.
