I can't reproduce your problem with my tester

Public Sub print_files()
Dim wkbk As Workbook
Dim Destinationfile As String

Destinationfile = "C:\Users\Ron Desktop\Desktop\pdfpdf.xlsm"
Set wkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=Destinationfile, UpdateLinks:=3)

With wkbk
.Activate 'it should already be active
.Sheets(Array("Investment Models E", "Open Models E")).Select
End With

ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:="C:\Users\Ron Desktop\Desktop\test.pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True

wkbk.Close False
End Sub

Dave has provided some excellent code which I am using, BUT the problem is as
follows.

The "ActiveSheet" command seems to activate the worksheet in which the macro
is stored (and NOT the worksheets which I wish to print in
DestinationFileName). Even though the worksheets in the 2nd file have been
activated, they are not actually the ones being saved to PDF.

Can you see something inherently wrong with this code which is being
executed from 1 excel file on another:

Workbooks.Open Filename:="c:\File_2.xlsx", UpdateLinks:=3
xlfile_drive = "c\"
temp_file_name = "Savename.xlsx"

Workbooks("File_2.xlsx").Activate
Sheets(Array("Investment Models E", "Open Models E")).Select
Sheets("Investment Models E").Activate
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
xlfile_drive & temp_file_name _
, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True,
IgnorePrintAreas _
:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
