I have two same image in different format in my powerpoint namely EMF and SVG. When I zoom these images in ppt for 400%, I am able to see the text crisp and clear. Now when I export these ppt to pdf using Export to PDF option(File->Export->Create PDF document) and zoom these pdf to 400% I see font is bitmapped (many pixels).how to keep the font vectorized in case of SVG so that I have something equivalent to EMF?

P.S. The first line is of font - Arial Narrow and second line is of font Arial.

    SVG is a relatively new format for Office. For backwards compatibility, Office programs create a fallback PNG of the SVG, and that's probably what you're seeing in the PDF. 

    You can try importing the SVG into the free programInkScape, then re-exporting. It has a couple of SVG export formats that might work better. If that doesn't help, use an EMF.
