I have few EMF (Enhanced Windows Metafile) files. How I can convert them into ps/pdf/tiff on Linux (CentOS 5.x)? Command line interface is preferred.

unoconv can convert emf to pdf and tiff via command-line:
For pdf: unoconv filename.emf
For tiff: unoconv -f tiff filename.emf
It doesn't seem to support ps file export, though.
You are still required to install OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice because this tool uses them as the backend.

as far I know, to convert EMF to .ps and .pdf, keeping vector quality, you need to import in OpenOffice and then generate a pdf that you can convert in a ps with pdftops

a command-line tool (as import filter for sk1), is in preparation, but it seems not yet ready:

you can then, once made a pdf, convert from pdf format to tiff with latest releases of pdftoppm (despite its name it has gained ability to convert to tiff format) or use pdftocairo at desired resolution
