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


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 format for when I save the excel file.

An example of the excel file format numbers can be found here.

FileExtStr = ".xlsb": FileFormatNum = 50
FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
FileExtStr = ".xlsm": FileFormatNum = 52
FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56
FileExtStr = ".csv": FileFormatNum = 6
FileExtStr = ".txt": FileFormatNum = -4158
FileExtStr = ".prn": FileFormatNum = 36

I need the one for the .pdf ending.


Solution

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