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

It's unclear from your message if you already have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed; that's the tool you need to create a .PDF from Visio. The limited version installed by Frame is just that --a limited version that can only be used from within Frame. The printer driver you mention

I have used Framemaker in my previous jobs, and I love it :-) My current company uses Microsoft Word. I am trying to convert a .vsd (Visio file) into PDF without using Frame/Word. I came across http://www.processtext.com/abcvisio.html, and am wondering if you all have any input.

Roopa, ABC Amber Visio convertor is a good tool and you can use it for converting visio file into PDF. Infact, if your only requirement is to convert the visio file to pdf, any PDF convertor will work. Most PDF convertors are installed as printers and you can directly convert your visio file

Steve Rickaby Er... just a quick query: you're not trying to go from Visio to PDF so that you can import the PDF into FrameMaker, are you? Because if so, I don't think you need to bother: PC FrameMaker can import Visio native files directly (or so I've been told - I don't use Visio).

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. -
