Hi all

I have a wb with a selection of sheets.

What I am trying to do is write code so I can pdf a specific sheet from a front page.

My idea is you select the first sheet and then press the button for the sheet you wish to pdf. I don't want the pdf button on every sheet.

I can get vba to pdf the active sheet, but I'm struggling to pdf a non active sheet from the active sheet.

Any advice will be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Code:
Sub ExportToPDFs()

Dim ws As Worksheet

[COLOR=#006400][I]'a loop[/I][/COLOR]
For Each ws In Worksheets
    ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\Test\" & ws.Name & ".pdf"
Next ws
[COLOR=#006400][I]    
'single sheet[/I][/COLOR]
    Sheets("SheetName").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\Test\" & "MyPDFname" & ".pdf"
[COLOR=#006400] 'or[/COLOR]
    Set ws = Sheets("SheetName")
    ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\Test\" & "MyPDFname" & ".pdf"
End Sub
