Is there a excel VBA code to export sheet 1 as PDF/A ? As is possible with word vba.

Thanks

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Would you like code that implements the method below?

Excel allows the user to choose whether to save the file as PDF/A in the options of the save dialog. This setting is stored in the Registry as LastISO19005-1 (REG_DWORD) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\FixedFormat. (Replace 12.0 with the right version.) The ExportAsFixedFormat function also respects this setting. You can set this value to 1 before calling ExportAsFixedFormat to get Excel to export the file as PDF/A.
I know this solution is not pretty as it uses global state to address a local problem. Consider restoring the previous value when you're done.
