Hi There,

I was looking around but could not find a direct answer and I am unsure of the print functions and parameters in VBA. What I would like to do is print a range of cells, say A5:E40, to a pdf using Adope PDF. I would also like the name of the created pdf file to be that of a certain cell value, say C7. How do I go about doing this? I read on a post that because Adobe takes time to print the pdf document, you have to add in a delay timer to the code to allow Adobe to create the pdf, not sure if this is true?

Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
My bad. I found it. This prints the first page which works for me. I think I would be able to adjust it to print a certain cell selection on the screen.

Code:
Sub Make_PDF()
    Dim pdfName As String
    pdfName = Range("C7").Text
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\Users\100043059\Desktop\" & pdfName & ".pdf" _
    , Quality:=xlQualityMedium, IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
    IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub
