Subject:Visio and PDF From:Fena Maucieri <fenam -at- AUDESI -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 11 Jun 1999 17:27:15 -0600
I am working in a legacy document that was created in Word 97 and has Visio
5.0 diagrams. They look fine on the screen but when they are printed a small
black box appears around the graphic images. I've set everything to
transparent but can't seem to make it work. Also, when I convert it to PDF
the boxes appear.
I've tried saving the Visio diagrams in a variety of formats (including GIF,
TIF, EPS, and JPG) but haven't had much luck with the PDF online or print
appearance of the graphics afterwards.
Any suggestions?
