I have that installed on the machine where I use Visio. The PDF looks reasonable 
(some colors were apparently lowered from RGB to dot patterns, but that's better 
than entire missing parts).

But I want a PNG image, so I'm back at square 1.

Copying and pasting from PDF to Paint changed the colors completely (green to 
gray and the like).

Copying and pasting from Visio to Paint created a black-and-white-and-red image.

Is it so difficult to copy the fucking pixels to somewhere else than the screen? 
Apparently so. Up until now nothing was able to beat a screen shot (well, 
actually two screen shots).
There's stuff above here
