Hi everyone - I have a workbook that takes Excel files saved as PDFs merges them and then adds and names bookmarks to each individual PDF. Previously, the bookmarks were named based on a range in the source file, but now they are just left as "Untitled". I've tried for days to troubleshoot. The names for all the bookmarks are still in the same place as they have always been. Nothing about the source file has been changed. Code below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Public BookMarkName() As String
Public BookMarkPageNumber() As Integer
Public BookMarkArrayNumber As Integer
Sub MergeFiles()

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Dim cl As Range
Dim SheetRange() As Variant

Set PDBookmark = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDBookmark", "")

You have many undeclared variables. I suggest you put Option Explicit at the top of the module, recompile and add Dim statements for the undeclared variables until it compiles successfully.
