Save multiple PDF files from excel sheets with successive numbering in the name string

Hi,

I am creating multiple PDFs from a multi sheet workbook.
Previously, I used pre defined file names like this, which was working OK.

VBA Code:
File1 = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Part - 1.pdf"
File2 = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Part - 2.pdf"
File3 = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Part - 3.pdf"

But now I have added some conditions due to which some time one file is skipped making the series irregular.

I am looking for a dynamic file name were the string part "Part - " remains constant but the number changes successively based on last exported PDF file.
For example, if Part - 1.pdf has been created but Part - 2 is being skipped due to existing logic, the Part - 3 should be exported with the successive name as Part - 2.


I tried to do a loop for the filename but its not working and all parts are being printed as same file name, replacing the previous one.

VBA Code:
n = 1
    Do
        n = n + 1
        FNm = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Part - " & n & ".pdf"
    Loop Until Dir(FNm) = ""

For saving excelsheets as PDF I am using this:

VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=FNm, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, from:=1, to:=1, OpenAfterPublish:=False

where FNm should be coming from the Do loop and change with every successive PDF export.

I would really appreciate some help here!
 

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.
Additional Info, All PDF export files are being saved in the same directory as the excel file.
So the last file created can also be check in the same directory.
