Text that has been converted to a mata file is converted back to text during export. In this video better to see: https://youtu.be/UzmLOht1KJ0
Can not confirm, the ODF archive is saved with both an x-svm meta file (from StarOffice legacy) and with a PNG raster. There will be a transformation applied as needed to position or If I rotate or flip the textbox, on save and export to PDF the transforms for the meta file are used for writing the PDF. And if I extract the .svm or .png from the pictures directory of the ODF archive, they behave as an image (i.e. the .svm text is not annotation). This is true for both sd modules, Impress or Draw.

I will, that the Text is a meta file (Text to SVG). When I use the function in Impress, in Impress it converts, but when I export th e to a meta file converted Text it's in the pdf against Text and not how I want it a meta file.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. PDF is not a meta-file format (i.e. a vector image). It you need a vector image format--export the Impress slide or Draw page as a vector file, you have EMF, SVG, WMF to choose from. Otherwise, the x-svm .svm held within the ODF archive's Pictures directory (the ODF archive just a Zip file) that can be extracted. And the .svm opened directly as a Draw image.
I mean, when I Export the odf file, the Text which I converted (to a meta file) in Impress, is in the PDF Text

The native .svm (StarView Meta image) contains the text spans within the meta image, as do SVG, EMF or WMF formats. Why would you expect those text runs to not be present in an export PDF embedding the meta image? If you need them as unsearchable bitmaps, "Convert to bitmap" rather than the "Convert to meta" for textbox selected from Impress slide or Draw page. Or you could select the text box, then use one of the bitmap formats to Export just the selected text box. Then insert back into your slide or page for document export to PDF. You could also use the Tools -> Redact utility to export non-searchable bitmap (with or without masking of the text). We do not understand your work flow or the expected formatting in the pdf export, other than to say that the vector meta will contain the source text runs.
