Error while convert to PDF

[vs.parthasarathy]

Hi,

I am trying to convert a visio drawing file to pdf programmatically(C+
+)
using Document:rintOut method.

If the parameter "Print to File" is set to false then it is working
fine, but the problem is, it pops up the dialog box to specify the
target file, so I passed false to "Print to File" parameter and gave
the file location in the "OutputFilename" parameter now it is giving
an error "When you create a PostScript file you have to send the host
fonts". I tried using some other pdf printer, but it didn't generate
the pdf properly.


Code snippet:


_bstr_t OutputFileName("c:\\drawing1.pdf");
_bstr_t SourceFileName("C:\\Drawing1.vsd");
_bstr_t bsPrinter("Adobe PDF");

Visio::IVDocumentPtr doc = vApp->Documents->Open(SourceFileName);
vApp->ActiveDocument->PrintOut(Visio::visPrintAll, 1, 1,
VARIANT_TRUE,
bsPrinter,
VARIANT_TRUE, OutputFileName, 1, VARIANT_TRUE,
VARIANT_FALSE);


I have Visio 2003 & SP3

I want to use the PrintOut method to silently convert to pdf without
prompting for any dialog boxes. Please give me some idea on how to
resolve this.

Thanks,
VSP

Hi VSP,

Which version of Visio are you using? Visio 2007 has a PDF print option
(you have to download it from MS)

Then you have the doc.ExportAsFixedFormat method that can be used to
create PDFs (or XPS format as well)

Might be easier.

Otherwise, you might check out the AlertResponse method. It helps you to
deal with dialogs over which Visio has little control (ie: filters and such)
