Hello Everyone,

How can I able to save it as a PDF in multiple sheets with multiple file names? In the below sample, I want to save it as a PDF from FORM01 to FORM05 with every form as its file name. Is there a formula for VBA just in one click and I can save all the files? Thanks

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
if i understand correctly. you would like to save 5 PDF files for every record in you data. in your example. you have 5 records, therefore 25 forms would be created?. If that's what you want it will be pretty simple to come up with some code.

Yes Sir. In my sample, I made a maximum of 20 items in my Data and I had to save them in 20 PDF forms. And each form has a different file name.

PDF Files of each sheet will be saved in the same folder where your excel workbook is saved.
Code:
Sub Save_As_PDF()
Dim i As Long
    For i = 1 To ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
        With Sheets(i)
            .PageSetup.PrintArea = .UsedRange.Address
            .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Sheets(i).Name & ".PDF"
        End With
    Next i
End Sub

I understand it to be individual sheets. We'll see

Hi Sir, thanks for your reply. This coding was to save the entire workbook. Also is there a way to save as a PDF from the selected sheets from FORM01 to FORM05? Also, each file has its file name. Thanks

the below code will create 100 pdf files.

VBA Code:
Sub Create_PDF()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim rs As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
Set rs = Worksheets("DATA")
lr = rs.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row


MyPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\"

For r = 2 To lr

    For s = 1 To 5 'sheet names
        If s = 1 Then Set ws = Worksheets("FORM01")
        If s = 2 Then Set ws = Worksheets("FORM02")
        If s = 3 Then Set ws = Worksheets("FORM03")
        If s = 4 Then Set ws = Worksheets("FORM04")
        If s = 5 Then Set ws = Worksheets("FORM05")
       
        myFile = rs.Cells(r, "A") & " - " & ws.Name & ".pdf"
        ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=MyPath & myFile
       
    Next s
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox  "Reports saved in: " & MyPath
End Sub

Re: "This coding was to save the entire workbook". Yes. I could not find a proper explanation of which files needed to be saved as PDF.
Re: "selected sheets" and "from FORM01 to FORM05" What is it? Sheets that are selected or Sheets which names start with "FORM" or only Sheets FORM01 to FORM05?
Re: "each file has its file name" Explain what this is meant to mean please.

This will save each sheet named "FORM" and something following this (or not) to the folder where your excel file is saved.
Is this what you want?
Code:
Sub Save_As_PDF_Version2()
Dim i As Long, sht As Worksheet
    For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        If Left(sht.Name, 4) = "FORM" Then
            With sht
                .PageSetup.PrintArea = .UsedRange.Address    '<---- Probably needs changing
                .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & sht.Name & ".PDF"
            End With
        End If
    Next sht
End Sub

Please don't quote posts. Just creates not needed junk.
Referring to Post numbers and posters names is way more efficient.
