AdobePDFMakerForOffice in Microsoft Visio

I gather from rummaging in these forums that AdobePDFMakerForOffice is not officially supported so I'll throw this to the community and hope someone has a suggestion.
With Acrobat XI installed, the following VBA code works correctly in Microsoft Word, and with very minor changes, also works in Excel. However, it does not work in Visio. In Visio, the code finds the COM AddIn successfully, but COM.Object is Nothing. Consequently, the assignment “Set pmkr = COM.Object” does not create an error, but pmrk is Nothing.
Any ideas why the code finds the COM addin but the object is null?
BTW, if you run the COM AddIn from the Acrobat tab on the Visio ribbon, it creates the PDF correctly.
Thanks,
Scott

  • How to access hyperlinks in Adobe Reader X when the hyperlinks were created in Microsoft Visio then exported as a PDF?

    I created some hyperlinks in Microsoft Visio then saved the document as a PDF. When I opened the document and scroll over the shape I set the hyperlink to, it doesn't even register it as a hyperlink. The cursor doesn't change shape as a click able object, when I do open another PDF file that has hyperlinks it responds correctly to each shape (those hyperlinks were created within Adobe so I don't know if that has anything to do with it). I have looked all over the internet and found a couple of forums that answered a couple portions of my question but not entirely hence why I am reaching out now. If anyone could assist with this I would be very grateful.

    Commonly there are three ways to create a PDF from MS Visio.
    The first is a Microsoft process built in to the Office applications.
    For issue resolution (if any) associated with this process you must investigate what is available over in Microsoft web space.  
    The second and third methods are predicated on having Acrobat installed.
    Method 2 makes use of the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
    This is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader). 
    This virtual printer outputs to PDF rather than paper. As with output to paper the output to PDF provides no interactivity (e.g., links).
    Method 3 makes use of PDFMaker.
    Acrobat's PDFMaker is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader). 
    PDFMaker can be configured to pass Office applications' hyperlinks through to the output PDF as PDF Link annotations.
    IMPORTANT DETAILS !!
    #1 - For Viso you must use Acrobat Pro.
    #2 - The Acrobat / Viso versions must be compatible.
    #3 - (as with all software) the application version(s) used must be compatible with the OS used.
    Consequently, for any meaningful suggestions to be forthcoming you must identify the specific method used eh.

  • Visio 2013 startup problem "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio..."

    Hello,
    I am getting the "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio Professional 2013" window on every load of this program. I have found no resolutions from Google searches.  I have tried a full reinstall of Visio, registry modifications
    (per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685120?wa=wsignin1.0), tried running it in safe mode (still happens), tried a clean boot (still happens). I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi,
    Try the following method:
    If you have an earlier version of Visio installed, such as Visio 2003 or Visio 2007 or Visio 2010, follow these steps:
    1.In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then select Run.
     In Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run.
    2.Type the following command, and then press Enter:
    reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
    3.(Optional) Instead of typing the command line, you can  copy it to your clipboard, right-click an empty section of the Run box, select Paste, and then press Enter.
    4.Verify that the problem is resolved.

  • Add some (Master) Shapes to another (Master) Shape in Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 when add a (Master) Shape to the Page

    I want to create a new Master Shape in the Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 like the Class
    Master Shape in the UML Class Stencil.
    When add the Class Master Shape to a page, it appends two Member and one Separator Master Shapes in itself automatically. Furthermore, can add more Member and Separator Master Shapes in it.
    I was thinking that it adds other Master Shapes in itself by some written VBA codes; however, when I checked the file of the UML Class (Metric)
    Stencil in the following full path, I got that it uses no VBA codes, not at all.
    D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Visio Content\1033\USTRME_M.VSSX
    The file extension is "Visio Stencil (*.vssx)" instead of "Visio Macro-Enabled Stencil (*.vssm)"; so, it can't have VBA codes.
    I know that I can do something by adding some new Rows in the Actions Section of the ShapeSheet; however, it doesn't exist any action Rows to add fresh Member and Separator Master Shapes for Class Shape.
    Figure 1 - Separator Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
    Figure 2 - Display a Bar to insert Separator Shape
    Figure 3 - Member Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
    Figure 4 - Display a Bar to insert Member Shape
    When I do RMB click on a Class Shape that is placed in the page, it has two new options in theContext Menu:
    Show Template Parameter
    Show Stereotype
    And I see related Actions' Section Rows for them.
    Figure 5 - Class Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and related rows in the ShapeSheet
    When I do RMB click on the Member and Separator Shapes in added Class Shape, can see "Insert "Member/Separator" before/after";
    however, when I add Member and Separator Master Shapes on the page directly (not in the Class Shape), when I do RMB click on them, can't see extra options in the Context Menu.
    Figure 6 - Separator Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
    Figure 7 - Member Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
    I checked their ShapeSheet and can't find any related rows for above-mentioned actions.
    Now, my question is that how can I create a new Master Shape with the ability to accept some other Master Shapes without any VBA codes like Class Shape
    in the UML Class Stencil that is created by Microsoft?
    Regards Mohsen Rostami

    The class diagram master shape is a "Container/List" shape, which has two "elements" (members) pre-loaded. You can of course build these groups using VBA. You might try to google it. Here is a starter.

  • Microsoft Visio on MacBook Pro OSX

    Hi All,
    After I have been one month with brand New 15" MacBook Pro retina display, I set up windows into one part of my HDD.
    but I got a complain from my friend that Windows will kill my battery and fan, so I follow him by stop use windows on my Mac.
    then turn into VMWare Fusion for Microsoft Visio. Is it any one know any other OSX app can work similar like Microsoft Visio?
    Please advise all including Windows on my Mac and Windows on WMWare, what will be affect to my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Generally there should be no ill effect.  It could be the wrong version of VMWare.   I would consult with the VMWare forum if you are having trouble with it, or try Virtualbox instead, which is free.

  • Doesn Sun have like Microsoft Visio?

    I wonder if you database developer know if Sun has a program like Microsoft Visio for database. For those who do not know about it, it is a program where you can easily design your tables and relations between tables with GUI and nice graphic. Do you know any similar program from Sun or mySQL because I hate Microsoft?

    Why disliking Microsoft has nothing to do with their
    productsBut you said, or implied at least, that you didn't want to buy Visio because you hated Microsoft. So it does have something to do with their products.
    Or perhaps you mean that you don't hate Microsoft because of their products? But my point is that not buying a good product because of a dislike of the company is unprofessional. You should make objective decisions when selecting a product and "I hate Microsoft" is far from objective.
    ; because it has to do with their attitude.They're a company. They don't have an attitude. They may have employees with attitudes, and they may have business practices that you dislike, but don't personify the company - it's the pathetic fallacy and it indicates muddled thinking.
    Actually, I am a fan of some of their products.Fine. So you're cutting off your nose to spite your face?
    Is the best product a winner in the market?For a certain value of "best", yes, by definition.
    No, not
    when it comes to application, which takes days or
    weeks to learn from the scratch. You see the
    background of choosing a program is much more complex
    than being the best.When you select a product, you are at liberty to select the "best" where that means the product most fit in terms of cost, interoperability, license terms, ease of learning, feature coverage, and sophistication.
    Choosing a program that is not the "best" is, well, stupid. Why choose a product that is an inferior match for your overall requirements?
    I dislike Microsoft mostly because I despise the way
    they act in the market.Microsoft act in the market by being the best at selling their products. They've also been found guilty of abusing a monopoly position. Big fat hairy deal. That doesn't make Sun all lovely and fluffy. Were you aware that they were partnering with Microsoft these days?
    It's business. Get over it.
    And I am so use to some of
    their products that it isn't easy to change to
    anything else no matter how good anything else is.You presumably mean vendor lock in here? Yes, "open systems" as they used to be known have some merits. But in the purchase of a database diagramming and drafting tool? I see very little value in it. Who cares if I'm locked into one product for some diagrams? Use the old tool for the old data model and buy a new tool for the next data model. If necessary regenerate a model from the database schema directly.
    I haven�t the time to take that step.You're actually telling me that you don't want to use their products because they're so good you get addicted to them and you haven't got time to do the cold turkey? You're weird...
    Anyway, back to the topic. I need to know if there is
    an application out there which I can BOTH designing a
    database AND have the DB with tables generated in the
    background. Like many IDE where GUI is used and code
    in the background is generated???See my original answer. You may also conceivably find that PostgreSQL 8.1 with the pgAdmin III tool would also be adequate for your purposes (I rarely use entity modelling tools unless the modelling diagrams need to go into formal documentation - if this is a "for personal use" project you probably don't need a Visio-alike tool).

  • Does Microsoft Visio work on MACs?

    Does Microsoft Visio work on MACs?  If not, are their plans to make it work?  Are their comprable tools on MAC?
