Hello,

I have SVG files that I will export to EMF to use them in a word document. This word document will finally be exported into a PDF file to be shared.

My goal is to have the lowest PDF file size with the highest quality.

I don't know what is the best to do so ? Because I'm trying to optimize the size of the SVG files first but I'm not sure that is the best solution ? Because I noticed that the more the SVG file size is low the more the EMF file size is low too and then therefore the word file / PDF file.

Maybe someone as a better idea to do so ? 

I don't know if my question is clear enough.

Thanks in advance for the help ! :)

You can generate a smaller svg file with [File > Save a Copy...] and then select [Optimised SVG] as the file type.

Recent version of MS Word (after 2016 I think) can import svg images directly with [Insert > Pictures]. Maybe try this first.

Hello Paddy_Cad,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried generating a smaller svg size by selection "Optimised SVG" but it doesn't result in a much smaller file when converting into EMF.

Unfortunately my MS Word version is older so I can't import directly the SVG files ?

Do you know any other trick or solution ?

Thanks in advance :)

Try [File > Save a Copy...] and choose [Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)] as the file type. Word and other MS Office applications should happily import this.

This is a very late reply. Hopefully it's still helpful.
