Hi all

I have PDF creator 995

I would like to automatically create a pdf file off an Excel* quote sheet
If I use:
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDF995
on Ne00:", Collate:=True
it asks for the name of the file (and directory). It works but I don't want
to have to set the directory, type in the quote number and customer each
time

When I changed the line to the one shown below it creates a file with a pdf
extention in the correct directory but is not a readable pdf form (either
not supported file type or damaged)

Sub CreateQuotePDF()
Dim PDFFileName As String
Sheets("Quote").Select
PDFFileName = Range("Quote_Directory") & "\" & Range("Quote_Number") &
" - " & Range("Guest_Name") & ".pdf"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDF995
on Ne00:", printtofile:=True, Collate:=True, prToFilename:=PDFFileName
End Sub

* Excel version 2002

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in anticipation

I had no replies to my query so assume it can't be done :-(

So decided on a compromise: To write the info (e.g. C:\Users\Public\Heavenly
Holidays\Quotes\1503 - 2 Stafford Close - Nicolene Moodley.pdf) to the
clipboard and then simply paste it in on the file name bar when it comes up.
It includes a full path so places the file in the correct directory. an
adequate work-around. :-)

Sub CreateQuotePDF()
Dim PDFFileName As String
Dim ClipData As DataObject
Set ClipData = New DataObject
Sheets("Quote").Select
PDFFileName = Range("Quote_Directory") & "\" & Range("Quote_Number") &
" - " & Range("Unit_Name") & " - " & Range("Guest_Name") & ".pdf"
ClipData.SetText PDFFileName
ClipData.PutInClipboard
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDF995
on Ne00:", Collate:=True
End Sub
