The attached example demonstrates how to save LEADTOOLS annotations as true vector and text objects in PDF files. This differs from a normal 'realize' of annotations because the annotations are treated as actual vector and text objects, not realized as raster content. This means you can zoom in or out as far as you want without the objects distorting. Below are the involved steps:

1) Load an EMF file and create a DocumentPage from it.
2) Create some annotation objects and add them to the EMF page
3) Add the EMF page to the LEADTOOLS DocumentWriter class.
4) Write the page out as PDF.

Updated to LEADTOOLS v19 with Visual Studio 2017. Also changed project to automatically select dll's for running in 32-bit and 64-bit.
Extract to "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS\" to use the example.

Changed annotation saving process to use the AnnPDFConvertor.ConvertToPDF() method instead of the DocumentEmfPage.AnnotationContainer property. Updated to using Leadtools.Annotations.Core instead of the deprecated Leadtools.Annotations namespace.
