Examples

The following code example saves one page that contains the named range NamedRange1 in PDF format to the specified file path and file name using the standard quality resolution. The generated PDF file includes the workbook properties. To run this code example, your workbook must include a sheet named Sheet1 with a named range named NamedRange1 that contains some data.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void SaveNamedRangeAsPDF()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange myNamedRange = 
        Globals.Sheet1.namedRange1;

    myNamedRange.ExportAsFixedFormat( 
        Excel.XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF, 
        @"c:\SalesData", 
        Excel.XlFixedFormatQuality.xlQualityStandard, 
        true, 
        true, 
        1, 
        1,
        false);
}

Private Sub SaveNamedRangeAsPDF()
    Dim myNamedRange As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange = _
        Globals.Sheet1.NamedRange1

    myNamedRange.ExportAsFixedFormat( _
        Excel.XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF, _
        "c:\SalesData", _
        Excel.XlFixedFormatQuality.xlQualityStandard, _
        True, _
        True, _
        1, _
        1, _
        False)
End Sub

Remarks

This method also supports initializing an add-in to export a file to a fixed-format file. For example, Excel will perform file format conversion if the converters are present. The conversion is usually initiated by the user.
