creating a macro to print PDF
 
I have a spreadsheet with lots of pages, and will like to print into PDF
format.

Below is the macro I used,
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _
"CutePDF Writer on CPW2:", PrToFileName:=("Test.pdf")

Everything work fine, the only problem is the PDF file size is 0k and can't
be open. When I manual print out the PDF, there is not problem.
Hope that someone can help...

Not sure I understand what is not working?

"The pdf size is 0k and can't be opened" and "When I manual print the PDF,
there is no problem"

Sounds like the pdf driver is either not working correctly or needs
updating.

Hi Nigel,
tks for your reply. What i mean is the macro can run properly and create the
"Test.pdf", but the created "Test.pdf" file size is ZERO and cant be open.
Even i use the adobe Acrobat Ver8 as active printer, same problem with the
created file (file size is 0 and cant be open to view by adobe Acrobat Ver8).
If I manual print the file using CutePDF Writer or Adobe PDF, there is not
problem for me to open the file for Viewing.

OK with you now. The only observation I can offer, since the selected
worksheet prints a valid pdf manually, is try setting the print area before
printing.
