Description

Gdi

PEET_EMF_GDI (0)

Legacy GDI enhanced metafile. Highly supported.

GdiPlus

PEET_EMF_GDIPLUS (1)

Legacy GDI enhanced metafile, converted via GDIPlus to simulate GDIPlus within GDI . Highly supported.

PlusDual

PEET_EMF_PLUSDUAL (2)

Dual format: renders as GdiPlus if available, else renders as Gdi if GdiPlus is not available. File size is usually quite large. MS Office and Adobe supported, though large sized fonts tend to be quirky. Test for Adobe support if you want to print to a PDF. Hopefully Microsoft will improve their poor support for this image format.

PlusOnly

PEET_EMF_PLUSONLY (3)

Renders as GdiPlus only. File size is very small. GdiPlus must be present and this format has limited support. MS Office/Adobe may not fully support. Test thoroughly if using this setting. Hopefully more support will arrive as file-size and image-quality is best within this format.

 

Comments

Legacy enhanced metafile support (Gdi) is well supported. But the older legacy WMF format is still the most supported metafile format. The newer EnhancedPlus metafile (supporting GdiPlus) is capable of producing the highest quality images, though support within Office and Adobe products may be limited.
