问题
Yesterday I was trying to batch convert a group of PPTs into PDFs for a friend, and I decided to have a look at PowerShell, since it's been sitting on my HD for a while.
Here's the code I've come up with.
$p = new-object -comobject powerpoint.application
# I actually don't know why I have to set the window to visible,
# but it doesn't work otherwise, anyway, it's not the real problem I have
$p.visible = 1
$f = $p.presentations.open('\some\file.ppt')
$f.ExportAsFixedFormat('\some\newfile.pdf', 2)
2 is for PDF
Since the "brute force" method didn't work ("type mismatch") I tried to import the enum type with
$pptypepdf= [Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpFixedFormatType]::PpFixedFormatTypePDF
$f.ExportAsFixedFormat('\some\newfile.pdf', $pptypepdf)
The strange thing here is that it still throws a "type mismatch" error...
Also, SaveAs works fine with
$f.SaveAs('\some\newfile.pdf', 32) # 32 is for PDF
What am I doing wrong?
Update
Relevant documentation:
- PpFixedFormatType Enumeration
- ExportAsFixedFormat Method
Here's the full error message
$pptypepdf= [Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpFixedFormatType]::PpFixedFormatTypePDF
$f.ExportAsFixedFormat($filepath, $pptypepdf)
Exception calling "ExportAsFixedFormat" with "2" argument(s): "Type mismatch. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH))"

I've come across the same problem in Python. Try specifying PrintRange argument as said in solution by Stefan Schukat:
This is a bug in Powerpoint. It defines "[in, optional, defaultvalue(0)] PrintRange* PrintRange" which leads to the generation of "PrintRange=0" in the python wrapper. Therefore you'll get the error when calling the method. So no problem of makepy. Workaround call the method with PrintRange=None since None is a vali COM object. E.g. presentation.ExportAsFixedFormat(pptFile+'.pdf', win32com.client.constants.ppFixedFormatTypePDF, win32com.client.constants.ppFixedFormatIntentScreen, PrintRange=None) should work.

I don't know PowerShell at all but have worked out a working example:
$p.ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.Ranges.Add(1,1)
$r = $p.ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.Ranges.Item(1)
$document.ExportAsFixedFormat('D:\\ps.pdf', 2, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, $r)
This isn't a full solution, but exporting is done. It somehow exports full presentation, not only slide no. 1, as I thought. P.S. Oh. Here's the same solution
