The code below saves Sheet1 and Sheet2 as a single pdf.

Code:
With ThisWorkbook
               
    Dim SaveFile As Variant
                
    SaveFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=Left(String:=.FullName, _
                                                                                                  Length:=(InStrRev(StringCheck:=.FullName, StringMatch:=".", Start:=-1, Compare:=vbTextCompare) - 1)) & ".pdf", FileFilter:="PDF files, *.pdf", _
             Title:="Save workbook as pdf")
                                                         
                    With Sheet1.PageSetup

                        .PrintArea = "$A$1:$R$50"
                        .CenterHorizontally = True
                        .CenterVertically = True
                        .Orientation = xlLandscape
                        .PaperSize = xlPaperA4
                        .FitToPagesWide = 1
                        .FitToPagesTall = 1
                    End With


                With Sheet2.PageSetup

                        .PrintArea = "$A$1:$S$60"
                        .CenterHorizontally = True
                        .CenterVertically = True
                        .Orientation = xlLandscape
                        .PaperSize = xlPaperA4
                        .FitToPagesWide = 1
                        .FitToPagesTall = 1
                    End With
                    
                    .Worksheets(Array(Sheet1.Name, Sheet2.Name)).Select
                            
                    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
                                                    Filename:=SaveFile, _
                                                    Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
                                                    IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
                                                    IgnorePrintAreas:=True, _
                                                    OpenAfterPublish:=False
                                                                
              
            
        End With
        
    Next Counter

The problem is there are big spaces on the page around the sides. In page preview in Excel, it maximises the use of the page but not when it's a pdf.

How can I change this?

Thanks
