Conversion PDF->WMF

[Gregory Seidman <gsslist+debian@anthropohedron.net>]

Because of unpleasant requirements at work, I am producing diagrams in a
Windows program that has no export capabilities at all. I can print,
however, and I am using the free PDFCreator project from sourceforge to
generate PDFs. This is all well and good, but I now need to insert these
diagrams in Word and modify them, which sucks.

It seems that the only vector formats Word understands are CGM, WMF, and
EMF. I took the PDFs I'd produced over to a Debian box and looked into
pstoedit. Unfortunately, its CGM output is mediocre (did terrible things to
fonts) and I had to use acroread to convert the PDF to PS before using it.
(It claims it works on PDF, and it should since it is based on ghostscript,
but it did not like these PDFs.) Another try was using pstoedit to convert
to an xfig file, then use fig2dev to convert to EMF, but that was even
worse. Even the xfig file looked crappy. I suspect the problems with
pstoedit had more to do with acroread's conversion to PS, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to translate from PDF to CGM,
WMF, or EMF?
