AC10 will not publish WMF

Please see error message when trying to publish to a Windows Metafile. Is there some licensing restriction as implied?

Thanks Djordje,
The AC10 PLN only contains Layouts originally created in AC9. The layout sheets contain PMK & JPG drawings only.

Is the file trying to publish PMK's? They are no longer supported for output in AC10.

Thanks Matthew,
Yes, PMK's are in the Layout sheet. I was afraid of that.

Update:
We were unable to publish to WMF using AC10 view set drawings only. The same error message came up. Issue is not limited to PMK files.

Hello
It seems that one cannot publish a layout to .emf or .wmf
If I try to publish a view however, then it is able to do so.

I'm trying to bring in a complete layout into coreldraw.

If I publish to tiff or jpeg, the image resolution is very poor. If I copy-paste individual items from an AC layout into CorelDraw, the quality is as good as an AC10 layout. The problem is that I loose my titles and have to reorganise the layouts into CorelDraw. I also have to re-do the process everytime something changes. CorelDraw can read pdf's but for some reason CorelDraw is also not accepting AC10 layouts published to pdf.

Any suggestions?
