I explain all of these statements in great detail within the previous macro examples here and here.
This is the line that specifies the value of the Filename parameter of the ExportAsFixedFormat method. In other words, this line is the one that specifies the filename of the PDF file that results from the conversion.
In this particular case, the filename that is assigned to the PDF file is the value of the PdfFilename variable. In turn, the value of the PdfFilename is determined by the Application. GetSaveAsFilename method in block 2 above. As a consequence of this, the filename is simply the one that is specified by the user of the application by using the Save As dialog displayed by the GetSaveAsFilename method. The last row of the If… Then statement and the sample macro in general signals the end of the If… Then statement.
As a general rule, whenever you want to save all of the worksheets within an Excel workbook, you can simply use the Workbook. ExportAsFixedFormat method. The explanations I provide throughout this Excel tutorial particularly the first section are generally applicable to the Workbook. However, when you use the Workbook.
This may be what you want in certain situations. However, in other situations, you may want to save each worksheet within a workbook in a separate file.
You can achieve this by working with the Worksheet. ExportAsFixedFormat method and loops. In the context of the ExportAsFixedFormat method and saving Excel files as PDF, the following 2 are the main things you must understand in connection to loops :. When properly structured, a loop allows your VBA code to go through every single worksheet and saves it as a separate PDF file.
Let's take a look at a macro that combines the ExportAsFixedFormat method with loops in order to save each worksheet as a separate PDF file:. The following screenshot shows the new items, which I explain further below. This statement declares a variable called iCounter. The selected data type is Integer which, as explained in this tutorial , can store integers between , and 32, The iCounter variable is used as a loop counter , a topic I explain further when covering the following rows.
This is the opening statement for the loop. In this particular example, I use a For… Next loop. This is, however, not the only type of loop you can use for these purposes. The end value of the counter, which determines when the looping stops, is specified by the Sheets. Count property. The value returned by Worksheets. Count is the number of worksheets. As a consequence of the above, the macro loops a number of times equal to the number of worksheets in the active workbook.
As I explain above, this is the opening statement of the With… End With block that adjusts the page setup. All of the statements within a With… End With block rows 4 to 10 make reference to the object that appears in this statement Worksheets iCounter. The difference between both statements is, therefore, on the specific Worksheet object used within the syntax of the Worksheet. The purpose of this block is to adjust the relevant properties of the PageSetup object for the relevant worksheet as determined by the loop.
I explain, in detail, this statement and all the parameters of the ExportAsFixedFormat method used therein in a previous section of this tutorial. There are, however, 2 rows that differ from what appears in the previous examples:. In both cases, the difference is in the use of the Worksheets collection and an index Worksheets iCounter to refer to the relevant worksheet.
After reading this Excel tutorial, you're ready to start creating macros for purposes of saving Excel files as PDF.
In addition to the above, you've seen 10 different examples of VBA code that allow you to save Excel files as PDF using several different settings and parameters. As with most topics related to Excel and VBA, I've not exhausted the topic despite writing this very comprehensive tutorial. You can use the knowledge and ideas you've gained here in order to create different macros that achieve similar purposes.
Here are some of my most popular Excel Training Resources:. Among others, I also : Provide a thorough introduction to how you can use Visual Basic for Applications for purposes of adjusting the page setup attributes.
Explain how you can save each worksheet from an Excel workbook in a separate PDF file. The following table of contents lists the different sections of this blog post. Table of Contents.

Use the properties of LeftHeaderPicture to set the attributes of the picture. Returns a Graphic object representing the picture in the right section of the footer. Use the properties of RightFooterPicture to set the attributes of the picture. Returns a Graphic object representing the picture in the right section of the header.
It means that this function in VBA automatically checks the file format of the previous file and saves it in the same format. Also, by default, the file will be saved in Documents under This PC.
This default location can be provided explicitly at the time of defining sheet name. Instead of defining name initially, is it possible to write a code which allows a user to save the worksheet by the name of his choice same as Excel Save As function? Step 1: Define a new sub-procedure under newly inserted module which can store the macro. Step 2: Define a new variable which can hold the value of the user-defined name. The reason for this variable being defined as Variant is, this data type makes Naming conventions versatile.
For Example, a user may add some extra special character which are allowed in naming conventions or can add dates as well under the file name. Step 3: Now, with the help of an assignment operator and function combination called application. GetSaveAsFilename , make a statement that allows the system to take a user-defined name.
See how it has been achieved in the screenshot below. Great article as always. I have a project with multiple named ranges that I want to export to PDF. Can it be done? Idea 2 Here is a harder option, but should also work.
I made an invoce wich complete automatically to a register then to a pdf, even if it is on onedrive it upload it perfecly, then open online PERFECT! Is it possible? The SaveName property determines the name of the file. Just create a string which includes use the worksheet name or a counter to create a unique name. Information provided is very educative. How can I save data from excel into individual fillable pdf files?
I think you would need to use a specific PDF tool to achieve that. I am using the looping through sheets example to output several sheets as 1 PDF per sheet and love that I found this macro. However, I wanted to include a value from cell A11 in the filename of each sheet but found that only the value from the first sheet is being used.
This means that the Macro outputs the several sheets, each overwriting the the last as the macro goes along.
Any idea how to get it working using the value in A11 A text string for each consecutive sheet? To do this I have set up the contract template in a worksheet and have lookups to fill in the customer info.
Where I am stuck is saving the range of the contract as pdf and naming it the unique customer ID to prevent overwriting. Is is possible to loop this process of filling the customer info, saving as pdf and printing while moving down a list of customer IDs? Within the loop include: — Calculate the worksheet so that it refreshes values in the contract template — Save the template as PDF using the customer name within the file name. This was very helpful, thank you!
I wondered if you could help me with a problem I am having. I have a macro-enabled Excel template that multiple users will be accessing from a shared network drive. Is there a way to code the save location to be that of the desktop of the user currently using the file? Thank you!
Thank you for the quick response! I still seem to be a little stuck. Below is my original code. I would appreciate any additional assistance you can provide. Activate ActiveSheet. Thank you for the detailed explanation. How about when I need to save in different PDFs the print area in the same worksheet?
I love you! Your page has taught me so much with context so I actually understand HOW the codes work. Thank you for hosting this page. Dear Expert, I would like to request for your help please. However, the challenge really comes if the worksheet name changes. The code above uses the ActiveSheet, which means the code only runs correctly if the worksheet containing the cell reference is always the active sheet when the code is executed.
However, if the worksheet itself can change, then it may be better to use the Application. InputBox to get the cell reference at run-time. One thing I was looking at adding into my code, was that the User could name the file when executing the macro.
I currently have it saved to the desktop, but wanted them to be able to name it, or use consecutively without having to rename the original. To prevent overwriting existing files you will need to check that the file does not already exist. Right-click the button.
I have tried out the code and it works, except for the fact that my sheet is oriented landscape and the PDF file is Portrait every time. How can I solve this? I am printing excel to pdf using exportasfixedformat. Printing from pages 20 to How to start page numbers from 1 in PDF generated in footer?
