Word- create PDF file in VBA with XCHANGE

Post by vnbpub »

Config: WINDOWS XP- MS Office 2003 - XChange 4.0.186.0

I need to create the PDF file of the Word document in a VBA macro.
Trying with the printer Xchange, the result is not the rigth one (only code, see attached file)
I don't find any tutorial or website that can explain how to manage Xchange from vba program.
I wisch not complicate things, only create pdf with the standard option.
I try to capte the command of icon [Convert document to PDF] without any succes.

Have you any suggestion?
Regards

Hi vnbpub,

You cannot capture the enduser product office addin convert to pdf button using vba macro. Your VBA Macro could send the word document to the PDF-XChange Printer in the printers list like you would a standard paper printer and convert to PDF using this method, but anything you are trying to do that is more complex than that, would require the at least the Drivers API SDK to convert programmatically.

Best,
Chris
