Hoping someone can help. I'm testing some macros for our upcoming upgrade from WIN10 32-bit to WIN11 64-bit and have run into an issue with one of them.

This macro scrapes user-input data from one spreadsheet tab and pastes it into another tab with more formal formatting, then that formatted tab gets saved as a PDF to a location of the user's choice. The file name for the PDF is defaulted to a combination of the name and policy number in cells B17 and B7.

This has been working for years with no issues, but when I am running it in the WIN11 testing virtual machine, the PDF that gets saved is corrupted and won't open.

The code below is the section where it saves the file - does anyone see something that might be an issue? I would have thought that doing a "save as" would be pretty generic from WIN10 to WIN11...


VBA Code:
Dim sFileName As String
    
    With Sheets("WORK ITEM TEMPLATE")
       .Visible = True
       .Calculate
        sFileName = Range("B17").Value & " " & Range("B7").Value
        sFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=sFileName, Filefilter:="PDF (*.pdf), *.pdf", Title:="Save Print Output As")
            If sFileName <> "False" Then
                .PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, PrToFileName:=sFileName
            End If

Thanks for any help as always,

Apologies - I named this question "print to PDF" but it should have been "SaveAs PDF" is corrupted...my bad, and it looks like I can't fix the thread name after it posted. :(
