Visio guy – Thanks the great work! I did manage to export as graphic and then bring back into a drawing for print. I wouldn’t waste any time on this since there is a way around. It is strange.

Hi arob,

I have been having trouble with printing transparency from Visio. Transparency makes it a lot easier to do cool effects, but unfortunately, MS doesn’t seem to have paid enough attention to it.

The ultimate hack is just to export a drawing or shape as a high-resolution bitmap/image, then print that. That’s what I do when I create fancy business cards and take them to Kinkos for printing.

There might also be some printer settings deep in your printer driver’s dialogs that will help. I still haven’t figured it all out.

There is something funny about the face of the iPhone that won’t let it print. I tried to plot it and then print and neither worked. Just the shell of the phone. Plot was HP and print was Xerox. Very strange.

Beautiful work.

ya, I ended up not needing a pdf version, so i just saved it as jpeg. I tried “print” to adobe pdf and the “convert” to pdf functions and neither worked. Its ok I got what I needed anyway.

And thanks for the great graphic and help btw.

ef,

Are you using the PDF exporter that you download from Microsoft as an add-on for Office 2007? For me it works “fine”, although the gradient fills don’t look so hot.

It could also be related to printer drivers, but I can’t say for sure.

One trick is to export the object as a png or jpg image, then print that out or copy it to a Word document, if that is what you are doing.

Quick question, When I create my visio drawing and try to print it out as .PDF, the iPhone graphic does not show up. The “phone” is there but the black screen and all of the screen icons are not. Anything special I need to do?

Hi Jeff,

Look in the sidebar under “Meta”. There you’ll find “Register” and “Log in”. You need to register with the site to download this content.

Thanks for this, I have been looking for one. I especially liked (and appreciated) the “overdrawn network shape” comment.

Hi Alain,

Do you already have your own oblique-angled artwork for putting inside the group?

Hi Guy

Nice work! Can we get a version of your shape that will let us put other shape inside of the screen. This way with the new Apple Iphone SDK we will be able to design app.

Thks
