Good day,

I currently have the below VBA code, which runs exactly as I need it to. It goes through a dropdown list and physically prints off the each result.
VBA Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Dim r As Range
    For Each r In Range(Range("J2").Validation.Formula1)
        Range("J2").Value = r.Value
        Sheets("Sales-Referrals").PrintOut
    Next
End Sub

What I want to do is update it to instead of printing to a printer, I want it to print each result to a PDF file, save it to the Desktop and name each individual file based off of cell B2.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
This macro should do it:
VBA Code:
Public Sub Create_PDFs()

    Dim DesktopFolder As String
    Dim r As Range
    
    DesktopFolder = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\"
    
    For Each r In Range(Range("J2").Validation.Formula1)
        Range("J2").Value = r.Value
        Sheets("Sales-Referrals").ExportAsFixedFormat _
            Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=DesktopFolder & Sheets("Sales-Referrals").Range("B2").Value & ".pdf", _
            Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    Next

End Sub
