I have a compilation file that we fill in calibration forms for a device on. There are a handful of sheets in the workbook, but every since one has a sheet named "Cal Form" that I am trying to automate printing a PDF of, with the name being pulled from two cells in said sheet (C8 and K8).

If possible I'm also trying to find some way to print PDF's of dozens of existing Cal Forms as my customers request them all the time, and getting them is tedious. I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be.
I have hundreds of these files and it would honestly be convenient to just be able to print every single one to PDF automatically somehow.

I've tried searching the forums and just googling but it seems everyone is trying to do something differently and I've tried 2 so far with no luck on my end. I've also tried recording a macro of saving it as a PDF but it doesn't appear to function.

Code for my recorded macro that doesn't seem to work is
VBA Code:
Sub PrintToPDF()
'
' PrintToPDF Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+q
'
    ChDir "Z:\Shared\EEW\Lab\Cal Cert PDF"
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
        "Z:\Shared\EEW\Lab\Compilation Documents\Envision\Meter Repair Compilation File -Template.pdf" _
        , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub


Sheet is below in case it helps.

I don't get the Save As window so I can't reproduce that problem. You have a link to another file in each of the two workbooks. In the Data menu at the top, click on Workbook Links, break the link and save the file and close it. You have to do this for each file. Then try the macro again.
Looks to have been all it is, unfortunate because that's probably on every file I have, I don't even know why its linking to it, but I'm sure I made some mistake 2-3 years ago when I added that tab for a specific test. Thank you though! You have been incredibly helpful!
