Can I save a .vsd (Visio) file as a .pdf (Acrobat) file?

[harley29]

I have created a visio file but need to share it with users that do not have
Visio. (They won't be using/installing Visio viewer either). Most of my
users have Acrobat Reader so I would like to save as a .pdf file, anyone know
how to do this? Not evident to me as to how to accomplish.

There are various utilities that function as printers (PdfPro is one, I
think). That is, you install it, then choose it as your printer and print
your .vsd to it. You end up with a pdf file.

Visio 2007 will have pdf-functionality built in.

Whay don't you use the visio viewer that your user can freely download from
Microsoft site.

Some companies keep their systems severely locked down and do not allow
their employees to load programs and make the request to have the viewer
installed may be an exercise in futility.

In Office 2007, IE will have the Visio, and other office apps, viewers built
in.
