Dear,
I would like my Excel worksheet to be sent by email (as pdf) by running a macro.
I am using the below mentioned script. However, I would like to edit the script so that the file name is saved as a specific cell within the current sheet (for example F2) instead of the worksheet name, and the subject in the email to be the same (also what is mentioned in cell F2). How can I do this?
Many thanks for your help!

SubSaveaspdfandsend()
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xFolder As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object
Dim xUsedRng As Range

Set xSht = ActiveSheet
Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

If xFileDlg.Show = True Then
xFolder = xFileDlg.SelectedItems(1)
Else
MsgBox "You must specify a folder to save the PDF into." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Must Specify Destination Folder"
Exit Sub
End If
xFolder = xFolder + "" + xSht.Name + ".pdf"

'Check if file already exist
If Len(Dir(xFolder)) > 0 Then
xYesorNo = MsgBox(xFolder & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
On Error Resume Next
If xYesorNo = vbYes Then
Kill xFolder
Else
MsgBox "if you don't overwrite the existing PDF, I can't continue." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Exiting Macro"
Exit Sub
End If
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to delete existing file. Please make sure the file is not open or write protected." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Unable to Delete File"
Exit Sub
End If
End If

Set xUsedRng = xSht.UsedRange
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(xUsedRng.Cells) <> 0 Then
'Save as PDF file
xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard

'Create Outlook email
Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xEmailObj = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(0)
With xEmailObj
.Display
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = xSht.Name + ".pdf"
.Attachments.Add xFolder
If DisplayEmail = False Then
'.Send
End If
End With
Else
MsgBox "The active worksheet cannot be blank"
Exit Sub
End If
EndSub
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
For the PDF filename, try...

Code:
xFolder = xFolder & "\" & xSht.Range("F2").Value & ".pdf"

For the subject, try...

Code:
.Subject = xSht.Range("F2").Value & ".pdf"

Notice that the ampersand (&) is used to concatenate strings, not the plus sign (+).

Hope this helps!
