PDF Export

[Nibor9]

Hello,

I have a bit of a strange one here.

I am using the following line to generate a pdf file from a word document:

file.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=path, ExportFormat:= _
wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False

The file is created, but the columns in the resulting document are not aligned correctly (see screenshot).

However if I manually I go to File > Export > Create PDF, the columns are displayed perfectly (see 2nd screenshot).

Does anyone know why this might happen?

Welcome to the forum!

Try recording a macro to make sure that you have the same options set.

Thanks for the quick reply Kenneth.

Recording a macro in Word was something I had tried earlier without success, the line it gave was:

.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=path_
ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:= _
wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, _
Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _
CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _
BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False
