I'm using Visio Pro 2003 and Acrobat 7, and the Visio --> PDF process works 
great! There's an advantage to it that most people don't realize: Visio files 
can contain multiple drawing pages, and Convert to Adobe PDF will create a 
single multi-page PDF from such a file. 

In FM, when you import from that PDF, you choose the page. Instead of a dozen 
separate source files and a dozen separate output files, there's one of each. 
You can import all the drawings in no time because FM remembers the file name 
from the previous import, and you just pick a new page. Slick! 

Helpful hint: In Visio Page Setup, make both the drawing and print page size 
exactly the final size you want it in FM, so there's no need to scale (which 
can cause text problems).
