sheet1 = c:\data

(print area is A1:I23

sheet3 = c:\data2

(print area is A1:O15

sheet2 = c:\data3

(print area is A1:H22)

and print each as a PDF?

Please can some kind code 'guru' sort for me as I am desperate.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Try...

Code:
Sub ExportSheetsToPDF()

    Dim vFolders As Variant
    Dim vSheetNames As Variant
    Dim vPrintAreas As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    
    vFolders = Array("C:\Data", "C:\Data2", "C:\Data3")
    vSheetNames = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")
    vPrintAreas = Array("A1:I23", "A1:O15", "A1:H22")
    
    For i = LBound(vSheetNames) To UBound(vSheetNames)
        With Worksheets(vSheetNames(i))
            .PageSetup.PrintArea = vPrintAreas(i)
            .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=vFolders(i) & "\" & vSheetNames(i) & ".pdf", IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
        End With
    Next i
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!

Can you post the exact code that you're using, and state which line or lines the errors occur?

You've made no changes whatsoever? As it stands, the code generates no errors. I can't reproduce your errors.

I don't think those sheet names should be a problem. If you named your sheets in your new workbook with those same names do you still get an error?
