Excel to PDF
 

Hello, I hope someone can help me with this please.

I researched the history of postings on this subject, and
I got close to resolution, but I never located a solution.

I am using VBA in Excel with Windows 2000; Acrobat 5
(maybe upgrading to 6.0 in a few months, but I need a
solution now for version 5.0);

I have over a hundred excel files that need to be
separately converted to PDF. My code so far looks like the
following:

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActivePrinter = "Acrobat Distiller on Ne01:"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1

Two problems are encountered:

1) I have to press enter on every loop (100+): how can
this be fixed in code?

2) How do I send the output to a specific path?

Your example code would be most appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

PK,

Following is a macro I found on the internet (I wish I could
tell you who wrote it but I can't!) So I give credit to the
unknown programmer.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
' Define the postscript and .pdf file names.
Dim PSFileName As String
Dim PDFFileName As String
PSFileName = "c:\myPostScript.ps"
PDFFileName = "c:\myPDF.pdf"

' Print the Excel range to the postscript file
Dim MySheet As Worksheet
Set MySheet = ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1, preview:=False, _
ActivePrinter:="Acrobat Distiller", printtofile:=True, _
collate:=True, prtofilename:=PSFileName

' Convert the postscript file to .pdf
Dim myPDF As PdfDistiller
Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller
myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, PDFFileName, ""

Kill (PSFileName)

End Sub

When run, no prompt's pop up and as you can see, the
name can be specified. Hopefully, you can incorporate this
into your code.

Dan, I'm excited here, but I think I need a reference to
something? My code errors on "PDfDistiller" undefined type?

What's missing man?
