Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Inserting EMF/WMF files into a document

[rrodolfo]

How are possible to insert *.WMF *.EMF figures in TeX? Is there any specific package that I need to use?
In other word, I would like to use vectorial images in TeX. I've got lot of EMF files and I don't want to convert to PNG 'cause of poor quality when I've used PDFLaTeX.

You have to convert your pictures to a vector format that is accepted. But I'm not aware of a freeware tool that can do this (a search engine may help). You may print the pictures into PDF using a kind of printer driver [1,2]. Another solution may be IrfanView (freeware indeed) which is able to convert images to PDF.

OK! I think I get the picture. So if I could convert my vectorial image to PDF doc would I able to insert it to my TeX file? How can I do it?

The same way as you include other graphics files. Just use the graphicx package and its \includegraphics command.
