I am working on organization charts. They have already been done in VISIO. My users want to be able to highlight a box and click on a job description link or a list of staff. I tried putting a box labeled JobDescr inside and configuring with a hyperlink to our job descriptions on SharePoint. Not working. Can this be done in VISIO? Mikec.. Hi.

Can this be done in VISIO?

These days I'm doing prototyping in Axure, which makes this all much easier -- you can even generate a single Help file for the entire prototype, which shows all the pages in the left-side navigation. best of luck!

I have a multi-page visio that has links between the pages and would like them to work in PDF too. Anyone know if that is possible? Thanks!

You would need to install Acrobat to get the PDF menu with the additional settings. Good luck! Hi David,
