EMF to PDF Conversion

[Stefan Zabicki]

Hello,

in incident 275093 we were talking about checking on our side, which problems we have creating an EMF which afterwards should be converted by your file formatting tools.

We are still checking on problems on our side, but we´re convinced, that your tools still have a bug regarding the alignment of regular text. As you can see in the example, the bold text ist aligned to the right side (which is right) where the regular text ist not correctly aligned. We where checking in our GDI+ commands and the alignment is correctly done on our side.

Could you please check and correct your tools regarding this issue. We will then continue testing.

This is our code:

using (PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument())                               

 {                                    

     doc.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4; // in points                                    

     doc.PageSettings.Margins.All = 0;                                   

      for (int i = 0; i < emfFiles.Length; i++)                                   

      {                                        

          string emfFile = emfFiles[i];                                        

          string tempEmfFile = Path.Combine(tempPath, uniqueFileString + "_Metafile_" + i.ToString() + ".emf");                                       

          File.Copy(emfFile, tempEmfFile);                                        

          PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();                                        

          PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;                                        

          graphics.ScaleTransform(0.96f, 0.96f);                                        

          graphics.TranslateTransform(12, 12);   // 16.66667 px --> 12 pts                                        

          PdfMetafileLayoutFormat format = new PdfMetafileLayoutFormat();                                        

          format.SplitImages = true;                                       

          format.SplitTextLines = true;                                        

          format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.OnePage;                                        

          using (PdfMetafile metaChart = new PdfMetafile(tempEmfFile))                                        

               {                                            

                    metaChart.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;                                            

                    metaChart.Draw(page, Point.Empty, format);                                        

               }                                   

}                                    

doc.Save(pdfFile);                                    

doc.Close(true);                                

}

What we don´t understand, is why we have to put in this line"graphics.ScaleTransform(0.96f, 0.96f); " to get a correct page and why the alignment of regular text doesn´t work, but the text with bold fontstyle works perfectly.

I attached 4 files in a zip:

- 2 EMF Files (representing the first and the second page)

- 1 PDF File generated from both EMF Files with your library

- 1 PDF File generated from both EMF Files via PS Printer and then ghostscript

Thanks in advance. If it helps we can establish contact between your developer and the developer on our side who is working on those EMF Files.
