Nektony has implemented the ability to preview Microsoft Visio drawings on iOS devices.
VSD Viewer enables iPad and iPhone owners to discover the advantages of using Visio drawings, diagrams, charts, and illustrations in a mobile environment.
By using VSD Viewer users can easily distribute Visio drawings to team members, partners, customers, or others, regardless of whether they have Microsoft Visio installed on their computers. Viewing Visio drawings is as simple as clicking the drawing (files with a .vsd extension) on iPad or iPhone.
VSD Viewer will render the drawing in the proper window. Also it enables user: preview Visio drawings, navigate multi-page drawings, select and copy text.
The VSD Viewer is ideal for users who had to just open and preview Visio diagrams as reference.
VSD Viewer is especially useful for teams that need to collaborate from remote places.

Thank you, now I am happy viewing Visio drawing on iPhone.
But where can I paste visio shape that I copy?
You can paste it into any other applications that supports the text-graphics
for example, into the Apple Mail
Not all text formatting is displayed.
Nevertheless, I can preview my VSDs without converting to PDF.
Will this VSD Viewer open vsd files from Dropbox.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing, AlexCormack!
I appreciate their honesty by stating the limitations: does not show EMFs, OLE objects, nor formatted text. Does that mean bitmaps won't show?
I imagine this thing could get better and better if they earn the funding to keep cracking away at the VSD file format.

• Viewing of multipage documents;
• EMF, VMF, huge BitMap images depiction;
• Viewing of hidden/shadow-layers containing drawings;
• Improved text rendering.
Also we improved stability and performance. Make sure of it - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vsd-viewer/id538386564?mt=8 - VSD Viewer for iPhone / iPad
