VBA: Copy Chart to PDF form

Hello,

I have a current working script that takes cells in excel and pastes them into their matching cells in a PDF form. I would like to modify it slightly to include a chart that will be made, I've tried to manipulate the code a bit but I'm not clear with vba. I believe putting the chart from excel into image field in the PDF should work, but maybe that is also an issue.

Full code is here, the lines to look at I think are the two below. The "TMPhoneNumber" is referencing a named cell and then the same cell in PDF, so I just tried to name the chart and see if it worked and it does not.

sFileFields = sFileFields & "<</T(TMPhoneNumber)/V(" & Range("TMPhoneNumber").Value & ")>>" & vbCrLf
sFileFields = sFileFields & "<</T(Chart1)/V(" & Charts("Chart1").Select & ")>>" & vbCrLf

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
#If VBA7 And Win64 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#Else
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#End If
 
Sub Main()
    Dim mainPDF As String
     
    Select Case LCase(Worksheets("Statement").Range("Language").Value)
    Case "english"
        mainPDF = "english.pdf"
    Case "French"
        mainPDF = "french.pdf"
    Case Else
        mainPDF = "error.pdf"
    End Select
    
         
    If Len(Dir(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & mainPDF)) = 0 Then
        MsgBox ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & mainPDF, vbCritical, "Missing File - Macro Ending"
        Exit Sub
    End If
     
    MakeFDF mainPDF
End Sub
 
Public Sub MakeFDF(Optional PDF_FILE As String = "error.pdf")
    Dim sFileHeader As String
    Dim sFileFooter As String
    Dim sFileFields As String
    Dim sFileName As String
    Dim sTmp As String
    Dim lngFileNum As Long
     
     ' Builds string for contents of FDF file and then writes file to workbook folder.

    sFileHeader = "%FDF-1.2" & vbCrLf & _
