Hi guys

I have a problem with a code that I have gotten some help to do for a friends company.

On the front page they have checkboxes of the content of the pdf they want generated (quotation with various content) and the VBA is set to always include a front page and 2 back pages ("Front page" "xxx last page"). Now they want a 3rd back page ("last page") added, and I have succeeded. That have though lead the 3rd back page to cannibalize on the content of the checkboxes. I know the theory of what is wrong but I can't seem to find the place where i can do anything about it.

I have translated my sheet names in this code to give a better picture of what the sheets represent.

VBA Code:
Sub generatepdf()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Application.PrintCommunication = False

On Error Resume Next
Dim d() As Variant

Sheets("Front Page").Select
Client = Range("C2").Value
sh = ""
y = -1
For Each chk In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes

If chk.Value = 1 Then
    SheetName = chk.Text
    If SheetName = "ONE IMPORT" Then
    y = y + 1
    ReDim d(y)
    d(0) = "Quote One Import"
    Sheets("Quote One Import").Activate
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .Zoom = False
    .FitToPagesWide = 1
    .FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("Quote One Import").PageSetup.CenterHorizontally = True
    sh = sh & IIf(sh = "", "", ",") & "Quote One Import"
   
    ElseIf SheetName = "TWO IMPORT" Then
    y = y + 1
    ReDim d(y)
    d(0) = "Quote Two Import"
    Sheets("Quote Two Import").Activate
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .Zoom = False
    .FitToPagesWide = 1
    .FitToPagesTall = 1
    .CenterHorizontally = True
End With
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    sh = sh & IIf(sh = "", "", ",") & "Quote Two Import"
   
    ElseIf SheetName = "THREE IMPORT" Then
    y = y + 1
    ReDim d(y)
    d(0) = "Quote Three Import"
    Sheets("Quote Three Import").Activate
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .Zoom = False
    .FitToPagesWide = 1
    .FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("Quote Three Import").PageSetup.CenterHorizontally = True
    sh = sh & IIf(sh = "", "", ",") & "Quote Three Import"

    y = y + 1
