First make sure, that you have a fully patched windows (best would be to use version v1703, build 15063.608, use the command
winver
for that output.) Then please patch visio 2016 as well and retry.
also you can try a free PDF printer like Bullzip and check if it does the job
I suspect this has to do with the design of the shapes you're using in your diagram. Can you post a Visio document containing some of the problematic shapes so I can take a look?
