In fact plots saved as PDF have higher quality than the EMF format as PDF is the publishing standard, whereas EMF is restricted by the Windows GDI and its (im)precision. PDFs created by either the PDF device or the Quartz device in R are both precise vector formats without any loss of quality. Anyway, this is not about the format, but probably about the tools you use. Note that MS tools cannot handle PDF well (they convert it to low-quality bitmaps), but then I hope would not use such tools for publication or presentation... (especially not on a Mac ;)).
