the the save as pdf or xps addin and it worked fine from the application but
can find the right file format in the enum value.

any help will be approciated.. thx

here is the enum value in my system:
public enum XlFileFormat
{
xlCurrentPlatformText = -4158,
xlWorkbookNormal = -4143,
xlSYLK = 2,
xlWKS = 4,
xlWK1 = 5,
xlCSV = 6,
xlDBF2 = 7,
xlDBF3 = 8,
xlDIF = 9,
xlDBF4 = 11,
xlWJ2WD1 = 14,
xlWK3 = 15,
xlExcel2 = 16,
xlTemplate = 17,
xlTemplate8 = 17,
xlAddIn8 = 18,
xlAddIn = 18,
xlTextMac = 19,
xlTextWindows = 20,
xlTextMSDOS = 21,
xlCSVMac = 22,
xlCSVWindows = 23,
xlCSVMSDOS = 24,
xlIntlMacro = 25,
xlIntlAddIn = 26,
xlExcel2FarEast = 27,
xlWorks2FarEast = 28,
xlExcel3 = 29,
xlWK1FMT = 30,
xlWK1ALL = 31,
xlWK3FM3 = 32,
xlExcel4 = 33,
xlWQ1 = 34,
xlExcel4Workbook = 35,
xlTextPrinter = 36,
xlWK4 = 38,
xlExcel7 = 39,
xlExcel5 = 39,
xlWJ3 = 40,
xlWJ3FJ3 = 41,
xlUnicodeText = 42,
xlExcel9795 = 43,
xlHtml = 44,
xlWebArchive = 45,
xlXMLSpreadsheet = 46,
xlExcel12 = 50,
xlOpenXMLWorkbook = 51,
xlWorkbookDefault = 51,
xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled = 52,
xlOpenXMLTemplateMacroEnabled = 53,
xlOpenXMLTemplate = 54,
xlOpenXMLAddIn = 55,
xlExcel8 = 56,
}

the enum values you show are for the FileFormat argument of the Excel native
SaveAs command. If the ability to save as PDF requires an addin, then I
would suggest the command and its arguments are defined in that addin. You
will need to get some documentation for it.

When I recorded a macro saving as PDF I got this:

ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF,.....

xlTypePDF equals 0.
