Printing to PDF
I have a workbook that I use daily to send pricing to various customers.
The first sheet is the data entry which flows into all following sheets and combines with existing formulas to create personalized pricing for each customer. I then turn each worksheet of this workbook into a PDF document to email to each customer. I am new to the world of macros and I have surprisingly managed to create a macro that somewhat automates the creation of the PDF's. My only downfall is that it "pauses" inbetween each sheet because it needs me to go to the correct directory, click on the PDF name to create it and click save. Each day I create the new PDF's over the existing PDF's. Because the PDF names stay constant from day to day, is there a way I can program that into the macro(s) so it will do that part for me? I hope I explained this well enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Printing to PDF
Look at the options for Acrobat. I believe there's one that takes the PDF name from the source
file name, at least in Acrobat 6. On Wed, 24 Sep 2003 17:48:38 -0400, Michelle72 wrote: I have a workbook that I use daily to send pricing to various customers.

You can program to create postscript file by print to file first, then convert postscript file to PDF file by Acrobat Distiller.

Printing to PDF
I'm not sure I'm putting this in the correct area so
please bear with me. I am curious about this as well and pretty new to VBA as well. I do something similar each week with my bowling league scores. Enter the data on one sheet, copy to a new sheet, rename the new sheet and then print to PDF. I want the name of the PDF file to be the name of the new sheet I created. I get to the same place where it is asking for a file name. I'm using a program called pdf995 to create the PDF file for me and the dialog box is generated by pdf995. I don't really want to buy more software to do something that must be fairly simple but my pea brain can't figure it out!
