Print visio to pdf

That's interesting I thought I had the paper size and scale and everything figured out and set correctly. It's set to portrait orientation inside Visio and the paper size is A4 and I chose to use metric measurements.

Scale was set to the last time I checked. I may have missed something, I don't know. You tell me Like I said, this is plain vanilla Visio installation, on a cleanly installed Windows 10 Pro that had no previous installations of Visio. So that's assuring that there should not be any odd behavior due to garbage left over from previous installations.

And as far as settings and configuration go, any good program should know how to figure that out on its own, and at very least it should have sensible default settings already set so that I as a user don't have to think about it.

It's intermediary, portable file format for sharing documents, that does not require any additional expensive software to be installed or any free light versions of the software or so called players or viewers for each proprietary file format.

All that's required is a PDF viewer. This was my intent also, to get a PDF file of my Visio drawing so I can share it with other people, without having to explain to them step by step over the phone how to install a free viewer for Visio drawings.

But the idea backfired so I am using plain image formats like PNG to share my drawings now. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums. Asked by:. Archived Forums.
