Visio - How can I "extract" an image from XML visio file?

Hello.

I have a visio file with a JPG image as "background". I add shapes and
connections and I save it as Visio-XML.

Now, in the XML file there is a field named "Foreign Data" that seems to
contain the information about the JPG image embedded.

I want to know if I could be able to "repaint" the original JPG image from
that Visio data and how to do it.

Thank you very much

I do not remember clearly, but MIME Base64 decoder may read images.

Hi,

it's an old topic, but I wonder if someone find a way to do it.



thanks a lot.

Once the image has been inserted into Visio it is no longer in JPEG format but some
internal format that MS do not release (as far as I know).


These newsgroups are no longer in use and it is unlikely that you will get an answer here.
There are replacement forums for Visio, Microsoft's own:
