Hello,

I am trying to write a macro which automatically PDF prints a worksheet and saves it in a folder. I have succesfully done this however the background of the images on the worksheet have black backgrounds and thus cannot be seen. My code is:

Code:
Sub pdfmemo() 
     
    Range("A1:H31").Select 
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$H$31" 
    Application.ActivePrinter = "doPDF v7 on DOP7:" 
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="H:\1) Dry F Automation\Memos\Dryf Memo " & Range("Dryf!F6").Value, _ 
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas _ 
    :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False 
     
End Sub

When I do this manually it works fine, it's only when I use the macro to do it it returns a black background.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. :biggrin:

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
I am completely lost. Do you mean you save a PDF into a worksheet which has a black background?
Hello,

I am trying to write a macro which automatically PDF prints a worksheet and saves it in a folder. I have succesfully done this however the background of the processed images on the worksheet have black backgrounds and thus cannot be seen. My code is:

Code:
Sub pdfmemo() 
     
    Range("A1:H31").Select 
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$H$31"
