VBA to Export Charts to PDF

[alanhather]

Hi All,

I am trying to export my charts from 1 sheet to pdf. I have a piece of code that does this well but only one chart at a time. Im looking to do Chart 41 and 42 all in the one document.

Many thanks for the help in advance and here is the code i have so far.

Sub PDFExport()


Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strTime As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
Dim myFile As Variant
On Error GoTo errHandler


Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsA = ActiveSheet
strTime = Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd\_hhmm")


'get active workbook folder, if saved
strPath = wbA.Path
If strPath = "" Then
strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
End If
strPath = strPath & ""


'replace spaces and periods in sheet name
strName = Replace(wsA.Name, " ", "")
strName = Replace(strName, ".", "_")


'create default name for savng file
strFile = strName & "_" & strTime & ".pdf"
strPathFile = strPath & strFile


'use can enter name and
' select folder for file
myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
(InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _
FileFilter:="PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf", _
Title:="Select Folder And FileName To Save")


'export to PDF if a folder was selected
wsA.ChartObjects("Chart 40").Activate
If myFile <> "False" Then
wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=myFile, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
'confirmation message with file info
MsgBox "PDF File Has Been Created: " _
& vbCrLf _
& myFile
End If


exitHandler:
Exit Sub
errHandler:
MsgBox "Could Not Create PDF File"
Resume exitHandler
End Sub
