I'm trying to make a macro that exports the specified sheets as a PDF. Right now the code looks like this:

Code:
Sub SaveasPDF()


fileName = Sheets("Month Formatting").Range("A8") + " PDF"


    Sheets("Totals Sheet").Activate
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("Flare").Activate
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("TOX").Activate
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("Fugitive emissions").Activate
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
    Sheets("Tank Emissions").Activate
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select


    ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Array("Totals Sheet", "Flare", "TOX", "Fugitive emissions", "Tank Emissions")).Select
    Selection.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, fileName:= _
    ThisWorkbook.Path & "/" & fileName, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True


End Sub

This code works, however when I try to change the "UsedRange" to "PrintArea" the code faults. Any idea how I can get it to specify the PrintArea for each sheet rather than the used range?

Thanks
