Export Range as a PDF

[shophoney]

Hi,

Below is some code I'm working on. I want to export a dynamic range as a PDF. But the code below produces blank pages as the range varies from 5 lines to 100 lines.


Public Sub Class_Sales_PDF()

Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strTime As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
Dim myFile As Variant
Dim lastE As Long, _
lastK As Long, _
lastP As Long, _
lastW As Long, _
lastAB As Long, _
lastAG As Long, _
lastAL As Long, _
lastAQ As Long, _
lastBB As Long, _
lastBI As Long, _
lastBQ As Long, _
lastBX As Long, _
lastCF As Long, _
lastCL As Long, _
lastCP As Long, _
lastCU As Long

Dim PDFranges As Range
On Error GoTo errHandler

With ActiveSheet
lastE = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
lastK = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row
lastP = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp).Row
lastW = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "W").End(xlUp).Row
lastAB = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AB").End(xlUp).Row
lastAG = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AG").End(xlUp).Row
lastAL = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AL").End(xlUp).Row
lastAQ = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AQ").End(xlUp).Row
lastBB = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BB").End(xlUp).Row
lastBI = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BI").End(xlUp).Row
lastBQ = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BQ").End(xlUp).Row
lastBX = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BX").End(xlUp).Row
lastCF = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "CF").End(xlUp).Row
lastCL = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "CL").End(xlUp).Row
lastCP = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "CP").End(xlUp).Row
lastCU = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "CU").End(xlUp).Row

Set PDFranges = .Range("A2:E" & lastE & _
",G2:K" & lastK & _
",M2:P" & lastP & _
",R2:W" & lastW & _
",Y2:AB" & lastAB & _

",CN2:CP" & lastCP & _
",CR2:CU" & lastCU)
End With

Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsA = ActiveSheet
strTime = Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd\_hhmm")

strPath = "D:\Dropbox\Shared_Files\Reports"
If strPath = "" Then
strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
End If
strPath = strPath & "\"

strName = Replace(wsA.Name, " ", "")
strName = Replace(strName, ".", "_")

strFile = ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value & " - " & strTime & ".pdf"
strPathFile = strPath & strFile

myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
(InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _
FileFilter:="PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf", _
Title:="Select Folder and FileName to save")

If myFile <> "False" Then
wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=myFile, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
'confirmation message with file info
MsgBox "PDF file has been created: " _
& vbCrLf _
& myFile
End If

exitHandler:
Exit Sub
errHandler:
MsgBox "Could not create PDF file"
Resume exitHandler
End Sub

Suggestion:

Copy the dynamic ranges to a blank sheet. Then print that sheet as PDF.
