Hey,

I have a problem with exporting a range of data to an PDF file.
I looked around this website but none seems to give me the solution.

I am using this code to export a PDF file, which than will be attached to an email, this works perfect.
VBA Code:
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
            Filename:=strFileName, _
            OpenAfterPublish:=False

The range of cells it will pick is determent by the print range that has been set in excel, A1:I135
Within this range there a 2 page breakers, which will give me 3 pages.
Page 1 = A1:I54
Page 2 = A55:I108
Page 3 = A109:I135

The problem I have that when some of the data is hidden, because I don't need it, it will give me blank pages.
When Range 3 & 4 are hidden, the PDF will have a blank page in the middle.
When Range 1 & 2 & 6 are hidden, the PDF will have 3 pages but 2 are blank.
Range1 =A2:I27
Range2 = A28:I54
Range3 = A55:I81
Range4 = A82:I108
Range5 = A109:I135

Would it be possible to make a PDF file without the empty pages ?
So if Range 4 & 5 are hidden I will get only 2 pages.
If Range 3 & 4 are hidden I will get only 2 pages.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Try this:

VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
            Filename:=strFileName, _
            Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
            IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
            IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
            OpenAfterPublish:=False
