Create Visio Import Filter

From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search


OOo currently lacks support for a Visio import filter. This proposal is about writing one, using the ODF format as input format to be loaded by the OOo application. Although a full blown filter seems to be unrealistic to be written within the short timeframe, large parts of Visio documents should be able to be filtered correctly.

  • Reguired skills/knowledge: C++, familiarity with Visio, and a fearless attitude towards poking into binary files.
