DrawMeta is not drawing correct image.

Hi Everyone,
  I am using DrawMeta method of TGDIPages to Draw a metafile on pdf. I observed that the rendered pdf does not have a full graphic as in meta file. The problem become more interesting when it is not able to draw a part of image e.g. highlighted text, table cell border etc. Also, if i reduce the Rectangle size in which the image is drawn, then it prints it perfectly. but i would like to stretch it in a larger rectangle to completely utilise the A3 space for example.

When i Use DrawBMP, i can see a whole metafile is correctly rendered. The issue here is i need to use DrawMeta because i would like to have searchable text as well from the meta file. if i use DrawBMP, i am not able to search any text. The rectangle

Could you please suggest whats wrong here. or if i can try something else.

Note: My source metafile is of 1436*948 px. I am not sure how much i can stretch this on A3 Landscape print.

Thanks.

Re: DrawMeta is not drawing correct image.

You might want to provide an example for this. Without it, it would be hard to diagnose the problem.
(You can provide larger parts of code via github gist)
