Parameters

• Type
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFixedFormatType

  The type of file format to export to.

• Filename
  Type: System.Object

  The file name of the file to be saved. You can include a full path, or Excel saves the file in the current folder.

• Quality
  Type: System.Object

  Optional XlFixedFormatQuality. Specifies the quality of the published file.

• IncludeDocProperties
  Type: System.Object

  true to include the document properties; otherwise, false.

• IgnorePrintAreas
  Type: System.Object

  true to ignore any print areas set when exporting; otherwise, false.

• From
  Type: System.Object

  The number of the first page to start exporting. By default, exporting starts at the beginning.

• To
  Type: System.Object

  The number of the last page to export. By default, exporting ends at the last page.

• OpenAfterPublish
  Type: System.Object

  true to display the file in the viewer immediately; otherwise, false.

• FixedFormatExtClassPtr
  Type: System.Object

  A pointer to an implementation of the IMsoDocExporter interface that enables the workbook to be saved in a different fixed format. For more information, see Extending the Office (2007) Fixed-Format Export Feature.

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.

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 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

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);
}
