Word file into PDF

[martinhoos]

Hello Forum,

i have a code that created a word file, save it and quits word.

My question: Is it possible to create additionally a PDF file?

'Save the Word file with a new name and close the document
wordDoc.SaveAs (ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False) & ".docx")
wordDoc.Close()
wordDoc=Nothing

If i change ".docx" into ".pdf" there will created a defective PDF File. What do i wrong?

Very best regards

Martin

Is this Inventor related?  If you're looking to save a drawing as a PDF there's a much easier way than going through Microsoft Word, there's plenty of PDF export code examples on this forum for you to use.
