Macro to convert spreadsheet to PDF?

[mcgeezz]

I was wondering if someone could create a macro that could convert and save a spreadsheet to a PDF, but also, save it as version 2, or anything to distinguish it from the old one if it was already saved? I'm new to excel so any help would be appreciated.

Record a macro and then add code to test to see if a previous version exists.

The basic macro looks like this: (Replace the red text with the path and filename.)

Sub Macro1()
' Macro1 Macro
'
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= "[COLOR=#FF0000]putyourfilenamehere.pdf"[/COLOR], _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub

.
Paste to routine module :

Sub SavePDFTime()
Dim Path, FileName1 As String
Path = "C:\Users\My\Desktop\"
FileName1 = "Test PDF" & Format(Now(), "DD-MMM-YYYY hh mm AMPM")
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=Path & FileName1 & ".pdf", OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub

Saves as PDF with Date and Time added to filename.

Thank you this works perfectly! I appreciate it
