Running the DocumentExport method without any parameters brings up the Browse dialog box and the name of the active project as a PDF file. If the user cancels the Browse or the subsequent Document Export Options dialog box, DocumentExport returns False.

To export a custom format PDF or XPS document, where you can use a pointer to a class in an add-in, see ExportAsFixedFormat.

Example

If the active project shows a Network Diagram view, the following example creates an XPS document named TestProject.xps. When you open the file in the XPS Viewer application, the last page includes document properties and a legend that shows the PERT chart symbols.
