ExportAsFixedFormat for VBA 保存文件

Question

i have a problem regarding the process of saving a bunch of pdfs (exported from WordDocuments). The runtime of my program just behaves a bit weird and thats why i am asking. So I want to save the files on a global drive. In my program i create a folder (in that drive where) i put all the pdfs.

Somehow if i do this operation for the first time it is really slow.

But if I do this operation ( for the same fodler a second time) it is somehow really fast. (after I deleted the "old" pdfs, or the old pdfs where overwritten)

I am a bit frustrated and I cannot explain why that is

Could somebody help pls Would be very happy for an answer

Greetings Jonas

Using this simple code

doc.ExportAsFixedFormat wholefile, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF

There are multiple reasons why the ExportAsFixedFormat method can be slow. But I would start from dealing with local files only. Then I'd play with arguments specifying the document quality and exported format. It makes sense to play with other parameters left in your code sample to its default values.
