Unable to Create ProjectWise Rendition of Visio Files (.vsdx)

Hello,

The same request was expressed in our company to Bentley support. An enhancement ticket has been created 16 Jan 2023 for this by Bentley Support : "PBI: 1070326 ICS to PDF Rendition and Interplot Organizer support for Visio".

We also received the answer that mass PDF generation from Visio files could be done by Adobe Professiopnal, And that Visio can save as (or export) dxf, dwg and pdf files individually. 

Best regards,

Note that if you are using IPS files to create sets of PDFs instead of individual PDF files you can add PDFs into an IPS file so your visio PDFs appear in the correct location in your set.  PDFs then can be updated by dragging the new ones on top of the existing ones and selecting "create new version" for the file. The IPS will use the latest version of the PDF.

So basically: Visio to PDF (via Visio export or Adobe) => ProjectWise => Add PDFs to IPS file => Render IPS file to generate single PDF

Then if you have updates from Visio:

Visio to PDF => Drag into same ProjectWise folder as previous versions => Create versions of PDFs => Render IPS

Workflow sucks without native Visio support but that's how you can currently get PDFs from any app inserted into a PDF set with renditions

Also, here's Adobe's instructions on making PDFs from Visio files:
