"Value does not fall within the expected range." error while exporting excel to pdf

I am getting the above error while trying to export the excel 2007(xlsx) format workbook to pdf. The workbook contains only one sheet and I have Ms Office 2007 installed on my windows 7 PC. Here is the stacktrace

   at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.WorkbookClass.ExportAsFixedFormat(XlFixedFormatType Type, Object Filename, Object Quality, Object IncludeDocProperties, Object IgnorePrintAreas, Object From, Object To, Object OpenAfterPublish, Object FixedFormatExtClassPtr)

at schoolwisereportprint.converttopdf() in    
C:\Users\username\Desktop\Dpp2012New\schoolwisereportprint.aspx.vb:line 33

at schoolwisereportprint.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Users\username\Desktop\Dpp2012New\schoolwisereportprint.aspx.vb:line 158

Here is my converttopdf() function:

Public Sub converttopdf()
    Dim fileName As String = Server.MapPath("rahulserver/pdfreprt.xlsx")
    Dim xlsApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
    xlsApp.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim xlsBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
    Dim paramExportFormat As XlFixedFormatType = XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF
    Dim paramExportQuality As XlFixedFormatQuality = XlFixedFormatQuality.xlQualityStandard
    Dim paramOpenAfterPublish As Boolean = False
    Dim paramIncludeDocProps As Boolean = True
    Dim paramIgnorePrintAreas As Boolean = True
    Dim paramFromPage As Object = Type.Missing
    Dim paramToPage As Object = Type.Missing
    xlsBook = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=False)
    xlsBook.ExportAsFixedFormat(paramExportFormat, "rahulserver/pdfreprt" & ".pdf", paramExportQuality, paramIncludeDocProps, paramIgnorePrintAreas,paramFromPage, paramToPage, paramOpenAfterPublish)
    xlsBook.Close(SaveChanges:=False)
    xlsApp.Quit()
    MsgBox("successfully converted to pdf!")
End Sub

Even changing paramFromPage and paramToPage to 1 and 1 respectively does not help. I have already spent a whole day troubleshooting this error but could not find a way. Now I look upon SO to get me out of this...

Just realized that this was a really old question. By the way, the problem was that the OP hadn't the "2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF" Add-In installed.

You can find that here
