Does anyone here work with Microsoft Visio?

...and if so would you be able to do me a favour? I've been sent a vsd file of a database schema and I'm unable to print it out using Microsoft's free Visio viewer. It prints the page as I want, with all the headers and footers, but it won't print any of the layers. Would someone be able to print it as a PDF for me so that I can print it out?

Thanks in advance.

I think you have to export it then save the new file type and it'll print fine.

Only problem is that I can't remember the fucking file type.

Sorted thanks to Weeksie.

Anytime, DC. Visio (like most M$ products) is a bitch to get printed output looking half decent (even in the full product and not the Viewer). It could do with some of the options that Photoshop has for resizing and moving print objects before you send them to the printer.

But glad its what you were after, shame you have to do some graft now!
