Here is the procedure I pulled off this list years ago. It's been sitting either in, on, under, or behind my desk for what seems like forever. Does it still hold true with the current software out there?
"1. Save the file in Visio as a PDF. 2. Open the PDF in Acrobat. 3. Save the Acrobat file as and EPS, with TIFF preview/fonts embedded. 4. Import the EPS into FrameMaker. Note: The image may look fuzzy in FM when imported. Remember, this is the TIFF preview, not the printed page." -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+jharvey=cambridgesoft....@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+jharvey=cambridgesoft.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Dov Isaacs Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:21 PM To: Steve Rickaby; framers at FrameUsers.com Subject: RE: Help with converting a Visio file into a PDF FrameMaker does NOT have the ability to import "Visio native files." It does have the ability to use OLE (object linking and embedding) links to such a Viso document file, but that requires that Visio be installed on the system that runs FrameMaker. Also, OLE is notoriously unreliable. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com] > On Behalf Of Steve Rickaby > Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 7:54 AM > To: framers at FrameUsers.com > Subject: Re: Help with converting a Visio file into a PDF > > At 07:40 -0700 28/6/06, Roopa Belur wrote: > > > My apologies for not being clear.
