# 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.

To enable support for Microsoft Visio 2013 files

1. Download and install the free Microsoft Visio 2013 Viewer from the following website:

   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35811

2. Update the `kvsdk.ini` file:

       467=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013
       468=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013
       477=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013
       478=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013
       479=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013
       480=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; Visio 2013

To enable the ActiveX solution for Microsoft 2003–2010 files

1. Download and install the free Microsoft Visio 2013 Viewer from the following website:

   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35811

2. Update the following entries in the `kvsdk.ini` file:

       ;343.6.0.11=prsgfx 0 kvpicve.dll ; MS Visio 2003/2007 (11.0)
       343.6.0.11=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; MS Visio 2003/2007 (11.0)

   To disable the ActiveX functionality for 2003–2010 files and revert to the `kpVSDrdr` reader, update the entries as follows:

       343.6.0.11=prsgfx 0 kvpicve.dll ; MS Visio 2003/2007 (11.0)
       ;343.6.0.11=doc 0 kvaxcc.dll ; MS Visio 2003/2007 (11.0)
