Microsoft Visio save as EPS

To convert a Microsoft Visio document to EPS without losing scalable vector format (and without installing 3rd-party software…):

1. Install Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS Add-in for 2007 Microsoft Office programs (only available for Office 2007?).
2. Save Visio document as PDF in Visio 2007.
3. Convert PDF to Postscript (.ps) with pdf2ps utility.
4. Open .ps file with gsview, and select File -> PS to EPS, be sure to check “Automatically calculate Bounding Box”.

Now you have an EPS file to be embedded into your LaTeX document. Many other converting methods exist, see also Visio and EPS.
