The nice things about this virtual printer are:
1. it's Open Source: free as in freedom!
2. it exports data directly in a vector format, without rasterizations; for more info about raster vs vector formats, please see the Wikipedia
3. very easy to install and use (and also to uninstall actually!)
Why EMF?
Why export printed data in EMF instead of another vector format, much more widespread like SVG? It's simple: the Windows GDI printing system provides data to the printer drivers directly in EMF format; thus it's "easy" to extract EMFs from printed data using a virtual printer driver.

I loaded EmfPrinter 0.3.0 as I was having a problem with PrimoEMF, but the quality of the picture was not as good as Primo. I ended up fixing the problem with Primo.
Cheers.
I have always wanted a tool like this. Tool is easy to use and works pretty good. Nevertheless it has crashed twice as I tried to 'print' a multipage document (blue screen in Win XP!).
It's still ok for me, as I primarily need emf's from single page cad -drawings which exist as pdf.
It's very easy to use and very useful for me.
Program did not install on my system (XP/SP2). Error codes included "Error Code: 1801 / The printer name is invalid." "Error Code: 126 / The specified module could not be found." "Error Code: 1797 / The printer driver is unknown."
Note also that this review page doesn't allow for "Don't know/can't tell" responses on question #2. Therefore I rated everything "good," the middle option.
