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.

The same way as you include other graphics files. Just use the graphicx package and its \includegraphics command.rrodolfo wrote:[...] 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?
