    Perhaps see either of these sites for instructions:

    http://www.rondebruin.nl/pdf.htm

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.11).aspx

    (Ron is the author of both pages, and provides many examples of working with Excel.)

    Thanks for youre reply.

    I have only been working with VBA and macros for a few months, so the code from the posted websites dident make sence to me.
    Does anybody have a code for this purpose that will only open a selected sheet from a workbook as a PDF file.

    Re: Show sheet as a PDF file

    Hi,

    I have this code that makes me save a single sheet in a PDF format.
    What I need is the saved file to be opened after saved. What more do I need to add to this code to make it perform this task.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    When I try to open this file manually, I get a message that tells me it cant get opened because the format is not supported.
    Is there a way I can solv this?

    Regards

    If you record a macro of you saving a worksheet as a PDF you'll see the code that you need to adjust to fit your model.

    Edit your sheet name (or variable.. Ark5?) as needed.

    Unfortunately I don't know the reason. It is working for me in my simple test workbook without error. I can press the button to create a file, it opens, and whether or not I close the file I can press the button again and it creates another file (and opens it).

    Paul,

    The file opens fine when I open it from were itīs saved, so itīs a mystery.
    I guess I will have to try update adobe.

    Thanks
