Visio2pdf

Convert the first shape of the first page in a Visio file to PDF file. The converted PDF file will be placed in the same directory of the Visio file.

Installation

pip install visio2pdf

Usage

1. Create Visio2PDFConverter object

from visio2pdf import Visio2PDFConverter

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter(visio_process_name = 'visio.exe',
    current_working_directory = None,
    temp_file_name = 'visio2pdf4latex_temp', visio_ext_names = ['vsdx', 'vsd'])
vpc.convert('one_visio_file.vsd')

`visio_process_name`

The process name of Microsoft visio, default = visio.exe. This attribute is used for identifying existing visio process.

`current_working_directory` {#cwdattribute}

The current working directory, default = None. This attribute is used for converting all visio files in the current working directory if no attribute is provided to the convert method. Two examples are shown in Convert all visio files in a folder and Convert all visio files in the current folder.

If current_working_directory is None, the converter will use the directory determined by the __file__ attribute provide by the invoking script as current working directory. If current_working_directory is a path, the converter will use the provided path as current working directory.

`temp_file_name`

The temporal file name, defalut = visio2pdf4latex_temp. During conversion, two temporal files will be created, one .svg file and one .vsdx file. If temp_file_name is set to WT_, the temporal files will be WT_.svg and WT_.vsdx.

`visio_ext_names` {#extnameattribute}

The extension name of the visio files, default = ['vsdx', 'vsd']. The converter only converts the files with these extension names.

2. Convert visio file to PDF file

Convert a single `.vsd` file {#file}

This will convert the visio file one_visio_file.vsd.

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter()
vpc.convert('one_visio_file.vsd')

Convert all visio files with a specified name

This will convert the visio files with a specified name, either .vsd or .vsdx. Both one_visio_file.vsd and one_visio_file.vsdx will be converted to PDF file.

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter()
vpc.convert('one_visio_file')

Convert all visio files in a folder {#folder}

This will convert all visio files in visio_file_folder_path and all the sub-directories. The visio_file_folder_path can be provided to the convert method. Or to the current_working_directory when creating the Visio2PDFConverter.

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter()
vpc.convert('visio_file_folder_path')

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter(current_working_directory = 'visio_file_folder_path')
vpc.convert()

Convert all visio files in the current working directory {#cwd}

This will convert all visio files in the current folder (determined by __file__) and all the sub-directories.

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter()
vpc.convert()

Create a converter that only converts `.vsdx` files {#ext}

By default, the created converter will convert all visio files (.vsd and .vsdx). The extension name can be specified by using visio_ext_names (default value: ['vsdx', 'vsd']).

vpc = Visio2PDFConverter(visio_ext_names = ['vsdx'])
vpc.convert('one_visio_file.vsdx')
