As the title states, saving as an SVG has been a great powerhouse for me. However, a lot of my diagrams end up in a windows 365 product like office. In office, these always load nicely as a beautiful SVG image, but when I re-export to PDF the images are sometimes rastorized, but not always.

I have discovered that this occurs because some features of Lucid’s SVGs are not supported in the windows “EMF” style encoding.

Shadows for example will always cause this issue and they have to be completely removed for it to work.

Is there a way to export as an EMF file, or to turn on an “EMF Mode” where my drawings can 100% always work when I export to word?
