Parameters

  • OutputFileName
    Type: System.String
    The path and file name of the new PDF or XPS file.
  • OpenAfterExport
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to open the new file automatically; otherwise, false.
  • IncludeDocProps
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to include document properties in the new file; otherwise, false.
  • KeepIRM
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to copy Information Rights Management (IRM) permissions to an XPS document if the source document has IRM protections; otherwise, false. The default is true.
  • DocStructureTags
    Type: System.Boolean
    true 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.Boolean
    true 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.Boolean
    true 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.
