Parameters

• OutputFileName
  Type: System.String
  The path and file name of the new PDF or XPS file.

• ExportFormat
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportFormat
  Specifies either PDF or XPS format.

• OpenAfterExport
  Type: System.Boolean
  Opens the new file after exporting the contents.

• OptimizeFor
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportOptimizeFor
  Specifies whether to optimize for screen or print.

• ExportCurrentPage
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to export the current page. True exports the entire page. False exports only the current selection.

• Item
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportItem
  Specifies whether the export process includes text only or includes text with markup.

• IncludeDocProps
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to include document properties in the newly exported file.

• KeepIRM
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to copy IRM permissions to an XPS document if the source document has IRM protections. Default value is True.

• CreateBookmarks
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportCreateBookmarks
  Specifies whether to export bookmarks and the type of bookmarks to export.

• DocStructureTags
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to include extra data to help screen readers, for example information about the flow and logical organization of the content. Default value is True.

• BitmapMissingFonts
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to include a bitmap of the text. Set this parameter to True when font licenses do not permit a font to be embedded in the PDF file. If False, the font is referenced, and the viewer's computer substitutes an appropriate font if the authored one is not available. Default value is True.

• UseISO19005_1
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether to limit PDF usage to the PDF subset standardized as ISO 19005-1. If True, the resulting files are more reliably self-contained but may be larger or show more visual artifacts due to the restrictions of the format. Default value is False.

• FixedFormatExtClassPtr
  Type: System.Object%
  Specifies a pointer to an add-in that allows calls to an alternate implementation of code. The alternate implementation of code interprets the EMF and EMF+ page descriptions that are generated by the applications to make their own PDF or XPS. For more information, see "Extending the Office (2007) Fixed-Format Export Feature" on MSDN.

Remarks

You can save as a PDF or XPS file from a 2007 Microsoft Office system program only after you install an add-in. The add-in can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
