Wondering if someone can help me with the below code.

I got made redundant from a company and saved this code for use in the new job. It worked at the previous place but now, oddly, it's saving PDFs with the file extension ".22" (a 22 File). Never seen this before..

The idea of the below is to split mail merge letters into individual word and PDF documents, driven by a column labelled "File Name" in the excel sheet.

VBA Code:
Sub Split_To_Word_And_PDF()
    Dim fd As FileDialog
    Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    With fd
        If .Show = -1 Then
            For Each vrtSelectedItem In .SelectedItems
                SelectedPath = vrtSelectedItem
            Next vrtSelectedItem
        Else
            MsgBox ("No Directory Selected.  Exiting")
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End With
    Set fd = Nothing
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    MainDoc = ActiveDocument.Name
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory SelectedPath
    For I = 1 To ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.RecordCount
        With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
            .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
            .SuppressBlankLines = True
            With .DataSource
                .FirstRecord = I
                .LastRecord = I
                .ActiveRecord = I
                docname = .DataFields("File_Name")
            End With
            .Execute Pause:=False
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        End With
        
        'export pdf
        ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=docname, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False
        ActiveDocument.Saved = True
        
        'export word
        ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:=docname & ".docx"
        ActiveDocument.Saved = True
        
        ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
        Documents(MainDoc).Activate
   Next I
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Does the data in File_Name include the extension?
