# View Microsoft Visio Files

Microsoft Visio files are supported by different readers or components depending on the file version:

- Version 2013 files are supported with ActiveX components included with the free Visio 2013 viewer provided by Microsoft. Image fidelity is supported, but additional features such as highlighting are not. Additional configuration steps are required.

- Version 2003–2010 files are supported with the `kpVSDrdr` reader by default. Image fidelity is supported. If desired, you can use the ActiveX components for these files instead of `kpVSDrdr`; this produces higher quality images but, as with 2013 files, does not support other Viewing features.

- Version 2002 and lower files are supported with the `vsdsr` reader. Image fidelity is not supported.
