Excel to PDF Conversion - vba

Question

I have an excel workbook with many sheets. The data needs to be converted to PDF.
Now the catch is that there are a few images that have to be present in the header and footer of the PDF. Also the page number needs to be printed.
Can u suggest the best approach to handle this. I work on VBA. Can anyone tell if this can be achieved using Excel - VBA?
Thanks a lot.

Try this approach, I have solved my problem with this.. as you haven't posted any specific details... you need to figure out how to use this code...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wksAllSheets As Variant ' define a worksheet object arrray
Dim wksSheet1 As Worksheet ' a dummy variable
Dim strFilename As String ' file name
Dim strFilepath As String ' file path, default is the current working dir
' file destination folder name...
strFilepath = "C:\Reports"
' check if folder exist or not, if doesn't then creates it otherwise ignore it
If Len(Dir(strFilepath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strFilepath
End If
strFilepath = strFilepath & "\"
' Initialize variables
wksAllSheets = Array("Strategy", "Summary", "Trades", "TradeAnalysis") '' array of sheetName i want to save as pdf
strFilename = "outputFileName.pdf"
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Here I am setting the page layout for each sheet, use if you need '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Set wksSheet1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Strategy")
' change the page setup Attributes of 'Strategy' sheet object
With wksSheet1.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.PaperSize = xlPaperFanfoldLegalGerman
.Zoom = 85
.TopMargin = 0
.BottomMargin = 0
.RightMargin = 0
.LeftMargin = 0
.HeaderMargin = 0
.FooterMargin = 0
End With
' change the page setup Attributes of 'Summary' sheet object
Set wksSheet1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")
With wksSheet1.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.PaperSize = xlPaperLegal
.Zoom = 90
.TopMargin = 0.25
.BottomMargin = 0.25
.RightMargin = 0.25
.LeftMargin = 0.25
.HeaderMargin = 0.25
.FooterMargin = 0.25
End With
' change the page setup Attributes of 'Trades' sheet object
Set wksSheet1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Trades")
With wksSheet1.PageSetup
.CenterHeader = "Trades"
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.PrintArea = "$B$2:$U$321" ' pass it as a parameter
.Zoom = 100
.PaperSize = xlPaperLegal
.PrintTitleRows = wksSheet1.Rows(2).Address
End With
' change the page setup Attributes of 'TradeAnalysis' sheet object
Set wksSheet1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("TradeAnalysis")
With wksSheet1.PageSetup
.CenterHeader = "TradeAnalysis"
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.LeftMargin = 0.25
.RightMargin = 0.25
.Zoom = 100
End With
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Save all the sheet in the array as one single PDF file
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(wksAllSheets).Select
wksSheet1.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=strFilepath & strFilename, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
'update the wksSheet1 object in with the next entry from wksAllSheets array of object
wksSheet1.Select
End Sub
