convert_svg_to_emf property

HtmlLoadOptions.convert_svg_to_emf property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to convert loaded SVG images to the EMF format. Default value is False and, if possible, loaded SVG images are stored as is without conversion.

@property
def convert_svg_to_emf(self) -> bool:
    ...

@convert_svg_to_emf.setter
def convert_svg_to_emf(self, value: bool):
    ...

Remarks

Newer versions of MS Word support SVG images natively. If the MS Word version specified in load options supports SVG, Aspose.Words will store SVG images as is without conversion. If SVG is not supported, loaded SVG images will be converted to the EMF format.

If, however, this option is set to True, Aspose.Words will convert loaded SVG images to EMF even if SVG images are supported by the specified version of MS Word.

Examples

Shows how to convert SVG objects to a different format when saving HTML documents.

html = "\n                    <html>\n                        <svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='500' height='40' viewBox='0 0 500 40'>\n                            <text x='0' y='35' font-family='Verdana' font-size='35'>Hello world!</text>\n                        </svg>\n                    </html>\n                    "
# Use 'convert_svg_to_emf' to turn back the legacy behavior

# Setting the "metafile_format" property to "HtmlMetafileFormat.PNG" to convert it to a PNG image.
# Setting the "metafile_format" property to "HtmlMetafileFormat.SVG" preserve it as a SVG object.
