Microsoft Visio drawings (.vsd) can output in a variety of formats: .JPG, XML templates, webpages, AutoCAD drawings, and others. Now, with a simple Microsoft add-in, Visio images can be saved as PDF or XPS files, too. These file types make Visio drawings viewable by those who don’t use Microsoft Office.
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a fixed-layout electronic file format. XPS (XML Paper Specification) also preserves the file formatting and enables file sharing.
The add-in download requires the simple Genuine Office Validation at Microsoft’s Download Center. This “2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS” provides two ways to save files in PDF or XPS format — via a Save As option, or with “Publish as PDF or XPS”.
