Mark

PDF file size
 
In 2003 I used Acrobat Distiller in marcos and created a pdf file of 300 kb.
When I used the same code in 2007 I ended up with a pdf file size of 14,000
kb. In 2007 I tried ExportAsFixedFormat with minimum quality and get a file
size on the same worksheet of 900 kb. Is there any way to reduce the pdf
file size?

Hi Mark

See if your used range is not to big
Is the shortcut

Ctrl-end

Select the last cell with data ?

If you send a selection do you have the same problem then ?
I have code examples here to test

I have the range set to print just the part of the sheet I want in all three
cases. The pdf file looks the same in all three cases, but the file size is
different. I have tried your code for the ExportAsFixedFormat with the
quality seeting to minimum and get the 900 kb pdf file size. With Acrobat
Distiller in Excel 2003 I get a pdf file size of 300 kb using the same print
range. When you have to e-mail 50 pdf files, 300 kb works better than 900 kb.

Thank you for your reply, I have learned a lot reading your codes.

Hi Mark

There are more problems with the add-in and i hope they will make a new version soon
I hate it that hyperlinks to another sheet and also hyperlinks worksheet functions not working in the PDF.
