Some Visio Diagrams not showing up/out of place

[Guest]

I made many diagrams in Visio then cut'n'paste them into PowerPoint XP. The
diagrams are fine in PowerPoint on the screen and when printed. However,
when I put the presentation into pdf, about 30% of my Visio graphics either
don't show up or are out of place. What's going on?!

I had trouble going from Visio to PDF as well...only I was losing Visio text
and not the images.
What fixed it for me was to set PDF Printer settings to 600dpi instead of
the default of 1200dpi.

Exit out of Visio, PowerPoint and Acrobat...then:
open up your printers folder and right click on the Adobe PDF printer.
Click Printing Preferences.
Click Layout tab.
Click Advanced.
In the Advanced PDF Converter Advanced Options dialog box, expand GRAPHIC
and then click Print Quality.
Changes to 600 dpi. Click OK out of it.

No go back and try it again.

Hope it works for you like it did for me. Good luck.

How do you make PDFs from the presentation?

Just go to the tool bar at the top. Choose "Adobe PDF" then "Convert to
Adobe PDF". I am sure PowerPoint XP professional so this option may or may
not be available for the version of PowerPoint you are using.

Actually, no version of PPT has that option. Or any version does. ;-)

When you install Acrobat, it installs an addin that creates that toolbar and menu
item IF it finds PowerPoint on the system.

MS has announced that the next version of Office will *natively* create PDFs
directly. Neat!
