This OLE renaming trick also works if the OLE is an embedded Excel file or a

I agree with you guys, but the client of the moment is using a
home-grown conversion program to generate HTML that requires GIFs or
PNGs. So I've been using them more than (my preference too) PNGs.

I would second Richard's recommendation. I would also add that when I
have printed Visio files to PDF in the past I often get strange
printing problems show up (depending on the version of Visio). These

I convert Visio drawings to a windows metafile and import them by
reference. I've never had a problem with that.

14MB isn't huge but the embedded content might be the culprit.
Embedded media can become corrupt, particularly when saving down/up
and sharing files (black hole of WTF). My advice is to get your
embedded items out of there and import by reference. You'll be loading
a lot less into memory.

Yeah, I was including PDF as a viable graphic format to use to replace
the OLE, just didn't call it out.
