Ulrich,
Thanks for your help, and thanks for getting back to me. > wxPdfDocument's support of WMF files is limited. Not all GDI commands > are supported. Especially font support is lacking. I saw that, but thought it was unlikely to matter - I'm just using TextOut and DrawLine. We're talking about very simple documents. >> The only other way that I can find of doing this entails purchasing >> an extremely overpriced licence for a commercial library. > > There exist low cost solutions for WMF to PDF conversion. You might even > consider to use an open source solution like ImageMagick. I couldn't find any that I'd consider low cost - perhaps we have different definitions of low cost. I would consider perhaps €200 or €300 an acceptable amount to pay. I can find plenty of utilities (as oppose to libraries) that do it though. I could find this, but it seems fairly crappy: http://www.soft-album.com/Development/Components-Libraries/Image-to-PDF-Dynamic-Link-Library-6428-Review.html . I'd like to have source code, and they are suspiciously reticent about whether or not they provide it. ImageMagick looks good, but I'm not sure I want to use such a monolithic library - I already use FreeImage+. So, looks like I'll be using some commercial library (there is something about these commercial library sites that puts me off.....they have the look of snake oil salesmen).
