Who makes Visio? Microsoft? Have you checked their product web pages? If
Microsoft don't provide an API, it's unlikely someone else has done (look
how long it's taken for an API for Office file formats to become available,
and note that Microsoft had nothing to do with it ;-)

Presumably Visio files are some sort of vector format.

The other approach to the problem is to look for a utility to convert
the Visio files to some more friendly vector format which can either
be handled by Java or converted to something Java can eat.
