Send to Visio

Top  Previous  Next

Need to be able to take images or text out of a PDF file and use it in your Visio drawings? Click the Send to Visio visio  button. No more copy-and-paste!

 

Select your desired graphical element, and click the Send To Visio icon visio  on the tool bar, or from the menu Send->Send To Visio. Done!

 

PDF Snipping Tool first searches for an active Microsoft Visio window, and decides if your desired content can be copied and pasted into the active window; the software would otherwise create a new drawing, and paste the content into the new drawing.

 

This feature saves you a lot of time that would otherwise spent on copy and paste operations, and simplifies the process to one mouse click.

 

Here are two examples,

 

Example A: Send a portion of a PDF file to Microsoft Visio

 

1. Start PDF Snipping Tool

2. Use the snippers to select your desired graphical element

3. Click the Send To Visio visio button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Visio... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to a Microsoft Visio drawing.

 

Example B: Send a full page to Microsoft Visio

 

1. Start PDF Snipping Tool

2. Navigate to the page of your interest

3. Click the Send To Visio visio button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Visio... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to a Microsoft Visio drawing.

 

Note: You can only send your selected portion or your PDF page as an image to Microsoft Visio. If you wish to send your content to Microsoft Visio as vector text, you have to copy it as text and paste it into your Microsoft Visio drawing.
