Hello!

I am trying to incorporate a button to save a selection to a PDF. If I do it manually, I use the option that says "Save as Adobe PDF". I have tried several different macros online for this and cannot get any of them to work. Any help would be great!
 

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim SvNm As String

Sub SaveAsPDF()
On Error GoTo EH

[COLOR=#0000ff]SvNm = InputBox(Prompt:="Enter file name to use when saving", Title:="Enter Save Name", Default:="Enter Filename here...")[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]SvNm = Range("A1") 'change range to wherever the save name is in your file[/COLOR]

Application.PrintCommunication = True
    ChDir "[COLOR=#008000]C:\Users\JoeBloggs\Desktop\[/COLOR]"
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
        "[COLOR=#008000]C:\Users\JoeBloggs\Desktop\[/COLOR]" & SvNm & ".pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
        [COLOR=#ffa500]True [/COLOR]'change this to [COLOR=#ffa500]False[/COLOR] if you don't want to open it automatically

Range("J25").Select 'simply selects another desired cell when finished

Exit Sub

EH:
MsgBox ("File not saved, no filename was entered")
Range("J25").Select

End Sub

colour coding;
This allows you to enter a name via an input box. (put an ' before the one you don't want to use or delete)
This allows you to use cell contacts as a name. (put an ' before the one you don't want to use or delete)
Enter your filepath for saving

Hope this helps you out,

Coops

I keep getting "Document not saved. the document may be open, or an error may have been encountered when saving" and then I get the error message at the end of the code.
