Kindly requesting your help on this topic...
I have an Excel file that generates multiple Word documents. I am trying to accomplish the following:


  • From Excel, a file dialogue opens up for users to select multiple files (Word & PDF files)
  • All the selected files are printed/merged into a single PDF file
  • The combined PDF file is saved in the same folder as the original Excel file, with the name "All Files"

Error Message = "Run-time error 4248: This command is not available because no document is open."

I realize the codes are very incomplete... not sure how to fix it though.

Code:
Sub Merge_Documents_PDF()

Dim intChoice As Integer

'Select the Start Folder. File Dialog becomes Visible to the User
Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).InitialFileName = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Forms\"
intChoice = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Show

'Determine what Choice the User made
If intChoice <> 0 Then

    Dim wordFile As Object
    Set wordFile = CreateObject("Word.Application")

    wordFile.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=wdExportFormatPDF, FileName:= _
    wordFile.ActiveDocument.Path & "\" & fichierWord.ActiveDocument.Name & ".pdf"

Else
    
    MsgBox "No Files were selected."

End If

End Sub
