MS Office writes the EmrFormat.Version field as 0 in the EMR_COMMENT_MULTIFORMATS record carrying an embedded PDF. Per [MS-EMF] 2.3.3.4.2 EmrFormat, Version MUST be 0x00000001 only when Signature == EPS_SIGNATURE; for any other signature it MUST be ignored. The reader rejected anything but 1, so the embedded PDF was dropped on the floor. Real-world files also use an empty OutputRect (0,0,0,0); per [MS-EMF] 2.3.3.4.3 it is in logical coordinates, so fall back to the EMF's logical bounds (mrclBounds) when it is degenerate, so ResolveBitmapActions has somewhere to draw the PDF bitmap. The new fixture is the existing pdf-in-emf.pptx EMF with the two fields patched to reproduce the regression in 776 bytes.

WMF/EMF/EMF+ Reader
Introduction
The emfio module is used to read WMF (Windows Metafile), EMF (Enhanced Metafiles) and also EMF+ (enhanced EMF) files [1], which are binary formats for vector images from Microsoft. These files can contain vector graphics, bitmap components and text.
This folder contains emfio/source/reader which is used for reading the
WMF/EMF/EMF+ files, either directly, or inside a document. For embedding Windows
Metafiles inside a document, one can use "Insert -> Picture -> From File" to put
such a file into the document. It is possible to export the Windows Metafile
by using right click and choose "save".
Most of the records of WMF/EMF formats come from the Windows Graphics Device. For Interface (GDI) API and EMF+ they come from the newer Windows GDI+.
More information about rendering Windows Metafiles can be found in the Visual Class Library (VCL) and also in the GDIMetaFile documentation.
An example demo that renders a metafile using vcl be seen by invoking:
./bin/run mtfdemo odk/examples/basic/forms_and_controls/burger.wmf
This opens the burger.wmf file from the ODK examples.
It is also possible to dump metaactions created as the intermediary format before rendering the metafile using:
./bin/run mtfdemo -d odk/examples/basic/forms_and_controls/burger.wmf
If the command is successful, this message will be shown, and metadump.xml will be put in the current folder:
"Dumped metaactions as metadump.xml"
The demo code structure is described in GDIMetaFile documentation.

EMF+ Specifics
Handling EMF+ is to some extent different from handling WMF/EMF. More information can be found in the VCL documentation.
How does it work?
emfio module takes a byte array and turns it into a drawinglayer primitive container. The rendering is done via drawinglayer primitives. For more information, you should refer to VCL documentation.
The drawinglayer primitives created to draw the emf/wmf files can be dumped as xml for debugging purposes. For more information, please refer to the drawinglayer documentation.
Limitations
Not all the WMF/EMF/EMF+ records are supported by this module. Unsupported records are marked as "not implemented", and a warning message will printed if they are actually read within a file. You can file a bug report for implementing these records.
Currently, these records are not implemented for WMF (specified in
wmfreader.cxx):
W_META_SETRELABS W_META_SETSTRETCHBLTMODE
W_META_SETTEXTCHAREXTRA W_META_SETTEXTJUSTIFICATION W_META_FLOODFILL
W_META_FILLREGION W_META_FRAMEREGION W_META_INVERTREGION
W_META_PAINTREGION W_META_DRAWTEXT W_META_SETMAPPERFLAGS
W_META_SETDIBTODEV W_META_REALIZEPALETTE W_META_ANIMATEPALETTE
W_META_SETPALENTRIES W_META_RESIZEPALETTE W_META_EXTFLOODFILL
W_META_RESETDC W_META_STARTDOC W_META_STARTPAGE W_META_ENDPAGE
W_META_ABORTDOC W_META_ENDDOC
And these records are not implemented for EMF/EMF+ (specified in emfreader.cxx):
EMR_MASKBLT EMR_PLGBLT EMR_SETDIBITSTODEVICE EMR_FRAMERGN
EMR_INVERTRGN EMR_FLATTENPATH EMR_WIDENPATH
EMR_SETPALETTEENTRIES EMR_RESIZEPALETTE

EMR_SETBRUSHORGEX EMR_SETMETARGN EMR_SETMITERLIMIT
EMR_REALIZEPALETTE EMR_SELECTPALETTE
EMR_CREATEPALETTE EMR_SETTEXTJUSTIFICATION
Due to the difference on the fonts available on various platforms, the outcome of text rendering can be different on Linux, Windows, macOS and elsewhere.

Tools
Several tools are available for inspecting WMF/EMF/EMF+ files, which are binary formats. Some of them are:
- mso-dumper: Reads and dumps various binary formats from Microsoft including WMF/EMF/EMF+. The output is in a custom XML format. emf-dump.py and wmf-dump.py are usable.
- RE-lab (Formerly OLEToy): Reads, dumps and modifies several binary formats from Microsoft including WMF/EMF/EMF+, and also other companies.
- EMF+ diagnostics reporting tool
- limerest: A new gui tool based on OLEToy for working with various binary formats
