Hello,

Ill try an explain this as best I can.

I need to open a workbook remotely called "Main Monthly File May2019_pre sonia.xlsx" select the sheet "Covered Bonds Movements" then set the print range "A1:H130" and then convert that area to PDF but the kicker is the PDF has to be 1 A4 sheet with two pages on it if that makes sense. So the top half of the print area on the left and the bottom half on the right.


I cannot seem to get VBA to do this but there has to be away. I have put the basic code below which works fine it just doesn't put both halves side by side.
I know this isn't using the printer but there must be away to do it via this method?


Code: 
[FONT='inherit']<code class="rz6fp9-7 jYpcYF" style="margin: 0px 2px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; font-family: "Noto Mono", Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, monospace; vertical-align: baseline; background: rgba(238, 238, 238, 0.8); color: rgb(255, 0, 109); max-width: 100%; overflow: auto;">Dim filepath1 As String</code>[/FONT]

Most machines come with some kind of PDF printer software, nowdays - such as "Microsoft Print to PDF." Not sure whether this ships with Windows, or when you load one of the Adobe applications, but it's always there on the machines that I've used.

If you have this on your machine(s), couldn't you just write a bit of VBA to temporarily change to this printer (just been helping on another post, on this subject, funnily enough) then print to it, specifying the destination, and specifying printing 2 pages per sheet, having split your worksheet area into 2 pages?
