How can export multiple selected Sheets of inventor into single pdf in c# add ins ?

Now I can only export single current sheet in PDF.

You can use the option "exclude from print" and "exclude from count" in the sheet settings for those you don't want to export....

I have created code which export all shet in single pdf.

How can i use ExcludeFromPrinting and ExcludeFromCount in my following code?Please suggest any option for that?

   public void SavePDF_AllSheet(Inventor.Application m_inventorApplication)
        {
            Inventor.TranslatorAddIn PDFAddin = m_inventorApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById["{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}"] as Inventor.TranslatorAddIn;
            DrawingDocument oDocument = (DrawingDocument)m_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument;
            Inventor.TranslationContext oContext = m_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext();
            oContext.Type = Inventor.IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism;
            Inventor.NameValueMap oOptions = m_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap();
            // Create a DataMedium object
            Inventor.DataMedium oDataMedium = m_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium();
            PropertySet customPropset;
            customPropset = oDocument.PropertySets["Inventor User Defined Properties"];

            Inventor.Property propProjectNumber = null;
            Inventor.Property propCostID = null;
            string inputjobnum = string.Empty, inputcostcode = string.Empty;
            Regex RgxUrl = new Regex("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$");

            try
            {
                propProjectNumber = customPropset["Project Number"];
                inputjobnum = Convert.ToString(propProjectNumber.Value);

            }
            catch (Exception)
            {

            }

            try
            {
                propCostID = customPropset["Cost Code"];
                inputcostcode = Convert.ToString(propCostID.Value);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {

            }

            


            if (propProjectNumber == null || propCostID == null)
            {
             
                MessageBox.Show("Job number and/or Cost code is not present in custom properties.", "No Data");
              
                return;
            }

            int sheetCount = oDocument.Sheets.Count;
           
            // Check whether the translator has 'SaveCopyAs' options
            if (PDFAddin.HasSaveCopyAsOptions[oDocument, oContext, oOptions])
            {
                // Options for drawings...
                oOptions.Value["All_Color_AS_Black"] = 1;
                oOptions.Value["Remove_Line_Weights"] = 1;
                oOptions.Value["Vector_Resolution"] = 400;
                // oOptions.Value["Sheet_Range"] = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintSheetRange;
                oOptions.Value["Sheet_Range"] = PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets;
                oOptions.Value["Custom_Begin_Sheet"] = 1;
                oOptions.Value["Custom_End_Sheet"] = sheetCount;
            }
            string filename = oDocument.DisplayName;
           

            string FilePathOriginalPDF = "G:\\PROJECTS\\" + Convert.ToString(inputjobnum) + "\\(03) Design\\(06) PDF\\";
            string FilePathDublicatePDF = "G:\\PROJECTS\\" + Convert.ToString(inputjobnum) + "\\(00) ShopDocs\\" + Convert.ToString(inputcostcode);

            Directory.CreateDirectory(FilePathOriginalPDF);
            Directory.CreateDirectory(FilePathDublicatePDF);
            // Set the destination file name
            oDataMedium.FileName = FilePathOriginalPDF + Convert.ToString(inputcostcode) + "-" + filename + ".pdf";

            // Publish document.
            PDFAddin.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium);

            System.IO.File.Copy(oDataMedium.FileName, FilePathDublicatePDF + "\\" + Convert.ToString(inputcostcode) + ".pdf", true);
          
            MessageBox.Show("PDF saved successfully.", "PDF");
        }

Hi,

For example:

Public Sub x()Dim a As Application
Set a = ThisApplication
Dim b As DrawingDocument
Set b = a.ActiveDocument
b.Sheets.Item(1).ExcludeFromCount = True
b.Sheets.Item(1).ExcludeFromPrinting = True
End Sub
