No matter how good of a picture I have when I insert it into Visio 2013 Pro, it is blurry.

I get blue prints as JPG PNG BMP but no matter how good the quality of the picture, after it is inserted into Visio none of the words can be read.  I even used a 600 dpi 36"X24" crystal clean blueprint and it still looked blurry or pixilated in Visio.  What's the deal with this $300 software?  I can open up the bmp png jpg in previewer and it looks great zoomed in by the way.

    Best fix I have found at least with PDF's is to convert them to a WMF picture format then insert picture.  It increases the size from PDF considerably but it seems to work for my purposes.  I am using PDFill PDF Tools 11.0 to do the conversion.  

    Not sure how this fix will work starting with another image file.  Hope this helps someone.  Spent several hours over a couple days trying to resolve this issue.

    Had the same issue with Visio 2013/2016 and MathType 6.9. The equations were blurry every time I reopen the file to work on it, and I had to open each equation object again and update it to look normal. I went back to Visio 2010 and everything are normal now, no issues at all with MathType objects at least. I don't know why Microsoft doesn't include there own equation toolkit with Visio like the one in Word, it would be much better, at least if they want to empower people to their work lot easier!
