Import/Export Documents

Import Documents

If you have already made diagrams using Visio, you can easily import them (VSDX, VSD) into Edraw Max one by one or in batch. The SVG files are also able to be imported into Edraw.

Navigate to File > Import in the document page and choose the corresponding options.

Navigate to File > Export & Send or click the Export button on the Quick Access Toolbar. Then choose the desired export options.

Export to Graphics

To export a document as a PNG, JPG, ICO, BMP, and Tiff file, follow the below steps:

1. Click Graphics Format, and the Export Graphics dialog box will appear.
2. Select your desired graphic size, choose which page(s) or shape(s) of your document you would like to export, and, of course, the resolution.
3. Click “OK”.
4. Choose what type of graphic to export and where to save the exported graphic.

Export to PDF

To export a document as a PDF file, follow the below steps:

1. Navigate to Export & Send > PDF, PS, EPS
2. Choose Image-based PDF or Regular PDF to export the document
3. If the document contains 2 or more pages, the software will pop up a dialog box to choose which page(s) you want to export

4. Only when you choose “All Pages” or “Selected Pages” (but you have to input more than one page number), the options under Documents tab will be available, so you can select to export the document as a single PDF file or multiple separated PDF files

Export to PS/EPS

To export a document as a PS/EPS file, follow the steps that are similar to the steps of “Export to PDF,” but choose PS Format or EPS Format instead. Determine where to save the document and then open it with your Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
