I have this code, and I can't print only one column (first green selection), what setting do you think I'm missing in the page-setup?

Example:
fetch


Code:
Code:
Sub PrintPDF()

Dim LastCellRow
LastCellRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A60").End(xlUp).Row
While Cells(LastCellRow, 60) = "."
LastCellRow = LastCellRow - 1
Wend

    strDir = "C:\Users\Carlos Hernandez\Google Drive\Cano Roofing\IMGENES\"
    
    If Dir(strDir, vbDirectory) = "" Then

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("O1", Cells(LastCellRow, 15)).Address '"$A$7:$A$50"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.1)
    .TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .PrintHeadings = False
    .CenterHorizontally = False
    .CenterVertically = False
    .Orientation = xlLandscape
    .PaperSize = xlPaperLetter
    .FitToPagesWide = 1
    .FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:="C:\Users\Carlos Hernandez\Google Drive\Cano Roofing\IMGENES\Personal.pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
End With

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
I don't know what "first green selection" means. After the pagesetup, what does an Immediate Window show after a run for the printarea?
Code:
.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("O1", Cells(LastCellRow, 15)).Address '"$A$7:$A$50"
Debug.Print .PageSetup.PrintArea

Hello! the green area that I need to print is showed in my attached image, I want to remove all that white space and I think is because I need to change the size of the paper, for example I printed the attached file in a paper of size of 2 inches x 17 inches and thats the result of the column O1:O

I asked the same in two forums to get a faster answer, I know is wrong but is to save time to get it done https://www.ozgrid.com/forum/forum/...to-pdf-only-selected-area-remove-white-spaces

I solved this just by zooming the print area and selected a type of paper with less width, now one column cover all the width of the PDF, I have a lot of Pages but it's OK

Code:
.PageSetup.Zoom = 400
.PaperSize = xlPaperEnvelopeItaly
