What is the FileType number for PDF in Excel 2007 that is needed to save a file as PDF through the API?

Question

I need to call a function in order to save an Excel workbook. I installed the PDF save addon for Excel 2007 but now I need to know what the number code is for the file forma

Answer 1

Check out the Workbook.ExportAsFixedFormat method:

ActiveWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF 
    FileName:=“sales.pdf” 
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard 
    DisplayFileAfterPublish:=True 

This method should be preferred over using SaveAs because it also allows specifying all PDF / XPS options.

Note: This method has been added to the Excel object model with Excel 2007 and requires the Save as PDF or XPS Add-in for 2007 Microsoft Office programs to be installed.

Answer 2

I did this in Word, and the format number is 17.
