VBA for Print to PDF custom page size

Hello all. I have a file that I would like to print to PDF that would always print only one page wide but print to the length I select with "Set print area" without extraneous white areas on the sides. I have a picture file embedded in the background with a custom header. This picture file is one page wide, but it is long enough to accommodate increases in spreadsheet length as necessary. The problem I am having is that when the file prints to PDF it is shrinking the page down to fit to the paper size I'm forced to choose, and that is leaving me with a bunch of unwanted white space on the sides. I don't have Acrobat to be able to crop the white space out, and other workarounds I've tried have negatively impacted the visual quality of the PDF file (ie, they get blurry). The problem to me seems to stem from the fact that I can't set a custom page size and that my length is dynamic and will always vary from print to print. I am looking for VBA that will enable me to end up with a PDF file that is always one page wide with no white space at the length specified with my print area. Any help would be appreciated!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
