Hello all, I'm trying to create a macro in excel to cycle and print one pdf for each item chosen in the drop down menu in A7. The file name should be the Lot # in the current chose item in drop down menu, and saved in the directory where the workbook is located. Any idea how? Thank you.

The images contain a ton of information which is confusing the ultimate goal.

I'm guessing here ... would one PDF be all data contained in row #8 ... then a second PDF would be all data contained in row 9 ... etc., etc. ?

Should each PDF also have the data in Row #1, Row #5, Row #6 and the headers in Row #7 ?

It would be really nice to have a specific example of what the PDF would look like.

Sorry, the images on first post was added by accident. You are correct, so basically the pdfs should look like this.
