Gurus, I tried to figure out how to insert a line of coding at the DIM section and in the body of the code that will ONLY convert selected sheets into separate PDF files.
I have a code that runs perfectly....but it will generate a PDF for the sheets that I don't want to convert to PDF.

This code also places the PDF in whatever folder I am in.

Here is my code. I wish I could take the credit for it. I found it online, luckily. Thank you so so much. I can't wait to see how this is done.
VBA Code:
Sub ExportEachSheet2AsPDF()

Dim objWS As Worksheet
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strCrntWS As String
 
strPath = ThisWorkbook.Path 'Assigned current file path
strCrntWS = ActiveSheet.Name 'Assigned current sheetname
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Disabled screen updating
 
For Each objWS In Worksheets
objWS.Select
 
strFileName = objWS.Name & ".pdf" 'Assigned worsksheet name as filename
 
'Following code will put '\' if it is not there
'-----------------------------------------------
If VBA.Right(strPath, 1) <> Application.PathSeparator Then
strPath = strPath & Application.PathSeparator
End If
 
'The following code will decide the export file type and then export it
'to the given path considering other required parameters.
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=strPath & strFileName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False 'This will prevent to open the file after publishing
Next objWS
 
Worksheets(strCrntWS).Select 'After exporting all the worksheets, it will return to active sheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'Enabled screen updating
 
MsgBox "All sheets have been exported as PDF.", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Exported as PDF"
End Sub

Try replacing
VBA Code:

with
VBA Code:
For Each objWS In ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedSheets

Solution
SOLVED. Thank you so much. I deactivated the original line of code with a " ' " and inserted your suggestion below it.
Just in case I need it for a different project or if someone would like to see this.

VBA Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Disabled screen updating
   
'This section will create a PDF for all sheets. Selected or not
'For Each objWS In Worksheets
'objWS.Select

'This code will create a PDF for selected sheets only
For Each objWS In ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedSheets
objWS.Select
