Hello all,
I have a code that I have used for several months with no issues at all. However today I tried it and its not combining the pdf files whatsoever. I tried a few things but with no result. I even tried repairing the installation from inside Adobe Acrobat DC, also no help. Can anyone please help? Below is the code. Thank you

VBA Code:
Sub SaveActiveSheetsAsPDF()


Dim excelfilename As String, shopfilename As String, shopname3 As String
Dim filename2 As String, shopname As String, shopname2 As String, shopname4 As String
filename2 = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName
shopname2 = Mid(filename2, 27)
ary = Split(shopname2, "\")
shopname3 = ary(UBound(ary))
Debug.Print shopname3
ary = Split(shopname3, ".xlsx")
'Create and assign variables
shopname4 = ary(LBound(ary))
Debug.Print shopname4
Dim saveLocation As String, savelocation2 As String

saveLocation = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AJ1")
savelocation2 = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AJ2")

'Write PDF Names
Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject

Set location = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AA:AA")
Range("AA1:AE55").ClearContents
Dim objfile As Scripting.File
Dim objFolder As Scripting.Folder
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(saveLocation)
Dim i As Integer
i = 2
For Each objfile In objFolder.Files
Debug.Print objfile.Name
location.Cells(i, 1) = objfile.Path
i = i + 1

Next
'Save Active Sheet(s) as PDF
Dim FileExt As String
FileExt = ".pdf"
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AA1").value = savelocation2 & shopname4 & FileExt
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
    FileName:=savelocation2 & shopname4 & FileExt

'Write PDF Names


'Combine PDF

 Dim objCAcroPDDocDestination As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
    Dim objCAcroPDDocSource As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
    Dim PDFfiles As Range, PDFfile As Range
    Dim n As Long
   
   With ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
        Set PDFfiles = .Range("AA1", .Cells(.rows.Count, "AA").End(xlUp))
    End With
 
   
   
    'Create Acrobat API objects
   
    Set objCAcroPDDocDestination = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set objCAcroPDDocSource = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
   
    'Open first PDF file and merge other PDF files into it
   
    n = 0
    For Each PDFfile In PDFfiles
        n = n + 1
        If n = 1 Then
            objCAcroPDDocDestination.Open PDFfile.value
        Else
            objCAcroPDDocSource.Open PDFfile.value
            If Not objCAcroPDDocDestination.InsertPages(objCAcroPDDocDestination.GetNumPages - 1, objCAcroPDDocSource, 0, objCAcroPDDocSource.GetNumPages, 0) Then
                MsgBox "Error merging " & PDFfile.value
            End If
            objCAcroPDDocSource.Close
        End If
    Next
    Debug.Print FileName
    'Save merged PDF files as a new file
   
    objCAcroPDDocDestination.Save 1, ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AA1")
    objCAcroPDDocDestination.Close
   
    Set objCAcroPDDocSource = Nothing
    Set objCAcroPDDocDestination = Nothing

    MsgBox "Created " & ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("AA1")
   
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
I got this issue resolved if anybody encounters the same issue. I uninstalled Adobe then did a clean install on it and the code works again.
