    It doesn't apear to support EMF, but check out the formats supported
    by ImageMagick (man ImageMagick). If one of those formats will work
    for you (SVG is in there, for example), you can just do
            convert file.pdf file.svg
    at the command line.

    Alternatively, there's a program listed on freshmeat called pstoedit
    which will convert PS and PDF to several other formats, including
    EMF. That's the result of a search for "PDF EMF" at freshmeat.net,
    BTW. It appears that pstoedit is included with SuSE 9.0 and 9.1...
