Help with converting a Visio file into a PDF
Well, Visio 2003 does not provide PDF (or EPS) as options in the Save As dialog, so your procedure is clearly out of date. It seems that when Microsoft took over Visio they decided to finally remove the chronically broken EPS export filter that Visio users had suffered with for so long, and Save As PDF apparently went the same route (if it ever existed in Visio to begin with) since neither file format is a Microsoft invention. You can certainly *print* Visio to PDF if you have Acrobat, but at that point you're probably better off importing the PDF into FrameMaker rather than converting it to EPS because you'll get a better on-screen display. Converting PDF to EPS before importing used to be a requirement in older versions of FrameMaker (5.5.6, IIRC) which didn't import PDF correctly. But for current versions, importing PDF is no problem and that approach has the potential advantage of being able to contain multiple pages in one PDF as opposed to one file per image for EPS. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Help with converting a Visio file into a PDF
I thought having Adobe Acrobat was pretty much a necessity for technical writers? Still, Visio 2003 does, I think, save as SVG. Perhaps FrameMaker 7.1+ can use that? As for PDF or EPS, I think PDF is more processing and overhead for FrameMaker; you might care if you use a ton of PDFs. == T. I won. I voted for Char James-Tanny for STC secretary.

If you have the Acrobat 7 and Microsoft Visio, using PDFMaker in Visio (vs. printing to a ps file and distilling) is recommended if the PDFs are to be used on-screen. When using the PDFMaker add-on in Visio, you will have the option of converting Visio layers to PDF layers, and also have object-specific metadata carried over to the PDF.

Re: Help with converting a Visio file into a PDF
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 can be used to create a PostScript file which can then be distilled with Acrobat, but it isn't a required tool -- using it would take you down a tangent.

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 to PDF without using word/frame.

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). Not as a file import -- unless a filter was added in 7.2 without making it to the new features list. :-) You can import a Visio drawing as a linked _object_, using Windows' OLE2 capability. I've done it without problems when I just had one or two Visio drawings in a book. But I'd be reluctant to rely on OLE for lots and lots of graphics. There's a huge amount of complexity and overhead for an OLE object (to make in-place editing possible). And of course, OLE is Windows-only, and anyone you share the FM files with must also have Visio, so your FM files aren't very portable anymore. Richard -- Richard G.

My preferred method would now be to create a PDF from Visio and import that into FrameMaker. But then, I work on a Mac... Yeah, Visio's export filters -- especially EPS -- have sucked for a long time. I use PDF for practically all my Visio drawings. For one thing, I create multiple related drawings, such as call flow diagrams, in a single multi-page Visio file. I can print that to a multi-page PDF with a custom page size, and then import each page of the PDF (at 100%) into my FM doc. Print a new PDF from Visio, and all the diagrams in FM are updated. Sweet. :-) As an alternative, Visio's PNG export seems to be pretty decent (at least in Visio 2003). Also, I've played a little with Visio's Save As Web Page command, choosing VML as the graphics format, and that looks pretty slick. My multi-page drawings ended up as a set of VML (vector markup language) files with an HTML frameset wrapper that provided navigation, pan and zoom, search, etc. There are lots of options for Save As Web Page -- for vector output, SVG is another option. If you're on Windows (sorry, Steve g) and want to put Visio drawings on line, it's worth looking into. Richard -- Richard G.

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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Rickaby Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 7:54 AM To: framers@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.

If you have the Acrobat 7 and Microsoft Visio, using PDFMaker in Visio (vs. printing to a ps file and distilling) is recommended if the PDFs are to be used on-screen. When using the PDFMaker add-on in Visio, you will have the option of converting Visio layers to PDF layers, and also have object-specific metadata carried over to the PDF.

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 can be used to create a PostScript file which can then be distilled with Acrobat, but it isn't a required tool -- using it would take you down a tangent.

Are you just trying to get your Visio file into Word? In that case, my advice is to forget PDF. Save your Visio file as .wmf. In Word, import the .wmf file. .wmf is a format that Word understands much better, so your end result will be much better. This eliminates the need for any converters. Hope this helps. regards, Karen Mardahl

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 to PDF without using word/frame.
