Parameters
outputFileName
Type: System.StringThe path and file name of the new PDF or XPS file.
exportFormat
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportFormatOne of the WdExportFormat values that specifies whether to save the document in PDF or XPS format.
openAfterExport
Type: System.Booleantrue to open the new file automatically; otherwise, false.
optimizeFor
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportOptimizeForOne of the WdExportOptimizeFor values that specifies whether to optimize for screen or print.
range
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportRangeOne of the WdExportRange values that specifies whether the export range is the entire document, the current page, a range of text, or the current selection. The default is to export the entire document.
from
Type: System.Int32Specifies the starting page number, if the Range parameter is set to wdExportFromTo.
to
Type: System.Int32Specifies the ending page number, if the Range parameter is set to wdExportFromTo.
item
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportItemOne of the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportItem values that specifies whether the export process includes text only or includes text with markup.
includeDocProps
Type: System.Booleantrue to include document properties in the new file; otherwise, false.
keepIRM
Type: System.Booleantrue to copy Information Rights Management (IRM) permissions to an XPS document if the source document has IRM protections; otherwise, false. The default is true.
createBookmarks
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdExportCreateBookmarksOne of the WdExportCreateBookmarks values that specifies whether to export bookmarks and the type of bookmarks to export.
docStructureTags
Type: System.Booleantrue to include extra data to help screen readers, such as information about the flow and logical organization of the content; otherwise, false. The default is true.
bitmapMissingFonts
Type: System.Booleantrue to include a bitmap of the text; false to reference the text font. Set this parameter to true when font licenses do not permit a font to be embedded in the PDF file. If you set this to false, the viewer's computer substitutes an appropriate font if the specified one is not available. The default is true.
useISO19005_1
Type: System.Booleantrue to limit PDF usage to the PDF subset standardized as ISO 19005-1; otherwise, false. If you set this parameter to 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. The default is false.
fixedFormatExtClassPtr
Type: System.Object%A pointer to an implementation of the IMsoDocExporter interface that enables the document to be saved in a different fixed format. For more information, see Extending the Office (2007) Fixed-Format Export Feature.
Remarks
You can save as a PDF or XPS file from Microsoft Office Word only after you install an add-in that provides this feature. For more information, search for "Enable support for other file formats, such as PDF and XPS" on Office Online.
Optional Parameters
For information on optional parameters, see Optional Parameters in Office Solutions.
Examples
The following code example saves the current document in PDF format with the specified name. Because no folder is specified, the PDF file is saved in the user's My Documents folder by default. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.
Private Sub SaveAsPDF()
Me.ExportAsFixedFormat("MyPDFDocument", _
Word.WdExportFormat.wdExportFormatPDF)
End Sub
private void SaveAsPDF()
{
this.ExportAsFixedFormat(
@"myPDFDocument",
Word.WdExportFormat.wdExportFormatPDF,
false,
