Remarks
The KeepIRMSettings parameter behaves specially for PDF. It controls the retention of both labels and encryption to the output file. For more information, see Manage sensitivity labels in Office apps.
If the presentation is not fully downloaded, this method fails and an error occurs. For more information about the Partial Documents, see Work with Partial Documents.
PrintRange is a required parameter, but may be set to Nothing. If not supplied, the call will fail with a Type mismatch
