Hello,

The following code creates a PDF document based off named ranges on cells. However it fails if the PDF document is already open.

Can someone please add error handling to this, so it will not bug out.
Code below is what VBA highlights and there is a yellow error next to this line "OpenAfterPublish:=True"

Code:
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
    Filename:=ReportPath & ReportName & ".PDF", _
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
    IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
    OpenAfterPublish:=True

Code:
Sub PDFPrint()

Dim ReportPath As Variant
    Dim ReportName As Variant
    Dim ToPrint As Variant
  
   
    Set ReportPath = Sheets("Menu").Range("A116")
    Set ReportName = Sheets("Menu").Range("A52")
    Set ToPrint = Sheets("Menu").Range("A55")
  
    
   Worksheets("Overview5").Activate
    
    With ActiveSheet
    .PageSetup.PrintArea = ToPrint
    .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
    Filename:=ReportPath & ReportName & ".PDF", _
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
    IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
    OpenAfterPublish:=True
    
    End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Do you want the PDF to open once it's been created?

If you don't then remove that line.
