When converting Microsoft Visio Files to Adobe PDF format, there are a few things to consider. Do you want to convert the entire document or just a few pages? Do you have more than two layers? With the Adobe PDF button in the Visio toolbar, you are given a variety of options for these file conversions. Luckily, you are asked what you want to do each step of the way.

1. Select “Microsoft Office” located in the Start Menu, then scroll down and select “Microsoft Visio.” Allow the program to completely load on your screen.
2. Step 2

   Select “Open” in the File Menu. Select the file name you want to convert in the list, then choose “OK.”

3. Step 3

   Select the “Adobe PDF” button, then scroll over and select “Convert All Pages in Drawing.” This will set a bookmark within the PDF and convert all of the pages to PDF format.

   If you would prefer to only change certain pages of this drawing, select “Change Conversion Settings” instead of “Convert All Pages in Drawing.” Make your selections in the dialog box and then select “Continue.”

4. Step 4

   Select the custom shapes properties if you wish to add them. These are listed in the dialog box shown on your screen. If these custom shapes are not to be added, just press “Continue” to bypass this option.

5. Step 5

   Choose layers option when prompted. You can maintain the layers as they are or flatten them. Make your choice and select “Continue.”

   If using multiple layers, choose the “Retain Some Layers in the Selected Pages” option, then select the layers to retain. To convert these layers, choose “Create Layer Set.” Rename the layer. Select “Save the PDF Settings.” Select “OK.” Select “Convert to PDF” and select which folder to save this file in from the drop-down menu. Name the entire file, then choose “Save.”
