Unable to process Visio files in WFA.
It should process Visio files, but is uploads them only.
Unable to download translated file.
Any known issues with WFA and Visio?
Any advise?
Thanks

Hello Yakiv,

Is a file corrupted or too large even ZIPed?

While they mention MS Visio (vsd vdx vsdx) as eligible format for WFA, there's a note:
If you received a VSD file, ask your client to save it as XML Drawing (*.vdx). As of Wordfast Pro v. 3.2, Visio (VDX) files can be translated directly just as any other supported file format without the need to write custom conversion rules. Use File menu > Open to open the file. When you finish translation, use File menu > Save Translated File to get the target file in the same *.vdx format.

Dear DZiW,
Thanks for reply.
Files are normal vsdx files opened in Visio and WFA.
Do you know if vdx files are working with WFA - not WordFast PRO?
Yours
Yakov

View allowed file formats Jan 2, 2020

Hi Yakov.
When we upload a file in the WFA a window appears where it says view allowed file formats. There is also MS Visio vsd vdx vsdx. I suggest you contact the support and ask for their help!
