I can successfully take an excel file and export it as a PDF file in c#
private static void ExportWorkbookToPDF(string workbook, string output)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(workbook) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(output))
{
throw new NullReferenceException("Cannot create PDF copy " +
"from empty workbook.");
}
Application excelApplication = new Application();
excelApplication.ScreenUpdating = false;
excelApplication.DisplayAlerts = false;
excelApplication.Visible = false;
Workbook excelWorkbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(
Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) +
"\\" + workbook);
if (excelWorkbook == null)
{
excelApplication.Quit();
excelApplication = null;
excelWorkbook = null;
throw new NullReferenceException("Cannot create new excel workbook.");
}
try
{
excelWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat(XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF,
Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) +
"\\" + output);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
Console.ReadLine();
}
finally
{
excelWorkbook.Close();
excelApplication.Quit();
excelApplication = null;
excelWorkbook = null;
}
}
What parameter or object do I need to access in order to save the excel file as page width instead of page height?
I have found the property required to force the export of your workbook in a PDF with Landscape view.
try
{
((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet)
excelWorkbook.ActiveSheet).PageSetup.Orientation =
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape;
excelWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat(XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF,
Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) +
"\\" + output);
}
