Hi,

i need help with this VBA code, i would like to print PDF files as one document and not separated. I did try to use CHAT GPT but i always receive error that active x component can not create object.
I have two sheet's one is for data and other one is template from where i would like to print PDF document. As i work in accounting i need this PDF as attachment to invoice we have all sort of data on it.

So idea was that VBA automatically changes invoice ID in field A3, after i give the range that i want to be printed out and then saves all the attachments as one PDF.
Cell A3 changes data in template supplier name, account, date etc.

I tried also printing them directly to printer but i receive the same error.

Thanks in advance for help

VBA Code:
Sub Print_to_PDF()
    Dim startInvoice As Long
    Dim endInvoice As Long
    Dim wsSource As Worksheet
    Dim printRange As Range
    Dim invoiceID As Long
    
    ' Prompt the user to input the start of the range
    startInvoice = InputBox("Enter the starting invoice ID:")
    
    ' Prompt the user to input the end of the range
    endInvoice = InputBox("Enter the ending invoice ID:")
    
    ' Link the start of the range to cell A3 on Sheet2
    Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
    
    ' Loop through each invoice ID within the specified range
    For invoiceID = startInvoice To endInvoice
        ' Set the invoice ID
        wsSource.Range("A3").Value = invoiceID
        
        ' Define the print range with updated invoice data
        Set printRange = wsSource.Range("C3:J20") ' Adjust this range as needed
        
        ' Print the current invoice as a PDF document
        printRange.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\Users\slavk\Desktop\Printed_Invoice_" & invoiceID & ".pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    Next invoiceID
End Sub

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
