Problems creating a PDF from a large Visio (2010) document

Guest
Mar 06, 2014 Mar 06, 2014

Hello

Heres the setup, Windows 7, 64bit, Visio 2010 std, Adobe Acrobat X Standard, a 6.7mb .vsd file with a custom size of 6000 x 3000 mm that I want to convert to a pdf (not for printing)

Using File menu & save as in Visio converts to a pdf with great quality but cuts the page off, I've spent all day reading about the 200" issue and thats exactly where the cut off is.

Using right click on the .vsd file in explorer and convert to pdf opens the correct page size in the pdf but the drawing is screwed up, lines moved about, missing stuff etc.

I dont know

a) Why there is a difference between the 2 ways of creating the pdf

b) how to have my cake and eat it! Good quality and right size page

Unfortunately I cannot use any third party apps, am I screwed?

Thank you everyone for looking and maybe even offering advice

Cheers

Stu

I looked at every setting as I had the same problem. This is what I found resolved the issue:

1. Open Adobe Acrobat Reader and go to Edit/Preferences and change the pixel/inch ratio back to the standard.

2. In Visio, go to Design tab, Size, and then More Page Sizes, and change the page size to Custom (your needed size.) (This opens Page Setup.)

3. The printer paper size I could not change, but it didn't affect it.

The first option is what took me an hour to figure out. Hope this helps save people time.
