Re: [iText-questions] WMF/EMF support
I Would like to see the EMF support finally. I'm not that into EMF Specification nor into IText (just learning it currently). But if someone could help me it could be great.

Re: [iText-questions] WMF/EMF support
Hi Everyone, I'm a developer of a open source desktop mapping application MapWindow GIS ( www.mapwindow.org) We are trying to integrate layered PDF printing into our application I discovered iText and iTextSharp and thought it might work. All of our vector and bitmap drawing is done using GDI+ which as I've discovered it a bit difficult to get to draw to a PDF with first turning it into a bitmap. I was hoping to be able to draw to an EMF and then load that into iText but I discovered that it does not support EMF only WMF. A little while ago (2008) David Thielen said that he had the specs for EMF and thought it wouldn't be very hard to add support for it to iText. I was wondering if anything had come of his efforts? Failing that, does anyone know of a way to get GDI+ to draw into iTextSharp or other open source .NET PDF package without converting it into bitmaps? Or perhaps of an intermediary format I can convert a EMF into which iText can then load into a PDF, I was looking at SVG but from what I've read the apparently they don't play nicely with iText either.

Re: [iText-questions] WMF/EMF support
Hi; I have the full EMF spec from Microsoft and got it with no restrictions on its use. I'll try to add that to iText. And positioned WMF if it's not supported (that is a very small change).

If it's isn't present and easy to add, you're welcome to contribute the code and we'll add it. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
