Windows Enhanced Metafile [.EMF] Export Automation Options

Since the Export Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options. A typical example would be:

"Defaults=1,AllTextToPolygons=0"

This would set all export options to their default values, then indicate that all text is not to be exported as polygons (i.e., it is to remain as text).
