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,

The conversion process ignores the setting and just zooms out is this anything you have come across? Have you had any trouble with the PDF zoom function not coming in to the PDF correctly.

However, you could create a page in the Visio that illustrates the popup, and set up hyperlinks to that page. To make it clear that the popup is a modal window on top of another web page, you could draw a small window for the popup and include a faded-out version of the previous page in the background. As an example of the hyperlink behavior, clicking the OK button on a page called "Register" would point to a page called "Confirmation," which displays the popup. Good luck! Hello Gilmar,
