Does anyone know of any PC (Win32) freeware utilities that will take a generated metafile and convert it to either postscript or a pdf and place the result on my hard drive. I know that distiller does it, but i’m looking for freeware. Thank you.
I think WMF2EPS does what you want. It’s shareware but not crippleware. It reads information from the Windows clipboard and saves it as an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file. I use it regularly for including CAD drawings and MathCAD plots in LaTeX documents. You need to follow the somewhat complex installation instructions carefully (it involves downloading a PostScript driver from the Adobe homepage and installing it, as I recall) but once you do, it works well.
I use WMF2EPS too. I find that it usually works well but I have had some problems copying drawings in landscape (or other page size bigger than A4) format from word into the program. It seems to jumble up all the bits.
Anyone any ideas how to correct this?
