MS Office *.eps support disabled and no support for SVG

asked Oct 19, 2017 in Wanted features by igormf (120 points)

As you can see here Microsoft has disabled in recent security updates importing *.eps vector images and as you can also see here Microsoft has added SVG vector images support only for Office360 subscriptions (lame!).

So now we are stuck having to use *.emf files even in Word 2016. Is there a straight way of exporting such files from PlantUML? Thank you

Not sure that directly generating *.emf files is possible in Java.

We could do something similar to PDF (see http://plantuml.com/pdf ) to export EMF but it's really not clear whether Batik/Fop is supporting EMF export.

Another possible option : if you find some command line tool that convert .eps/.svg to .emf, we could also use it to do the EMF export.
