VBA save email attachments with pdf extension to folder - vba

Question

I am using the following code to save attachments from an email into a folder, now I want to add a if clause or conditions which says only save attachments with a .pdf extension.
Can someone please show me how I can change my code to get this to happen, thanks in advance
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strDeletedFiles As String
' Get the path to your My Documents folder
On Error Resume Next
' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
' The attachment folder needs to exist
' You can change this to another folder name of your choice
' Set the Attachment folder.
strFolderpath = "\\UKSH000-FILE06\Purchasing\New_Supplier_Set_Ups_&_Audits\ATTACHMENTS\TEST\"
' Check each selected item for attachments.
For Each objMsg In objSelection
Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
lngCount = objAttachments.Count
If lngCount > 0 Then
' Use a count down loop for removing items
' from a collection. Otherwise, the loop counter gets
' confused and only every other item is removed.
For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1
' Get the file name.
strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
strFile = strFolderpath & strFile
' Save the attachment as a file.
objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
Next i
End If
Next
ExitSub:
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub

You'll want to iterate through the attachments collection on your objMsg to find the PDF.
This will look like:
For each objAttachment in objMsg.Attachments
if Right(objAttachment.FileName, 3) = "pdf" then
objAttachment.SaveAsFile strFolderPath & strFile
end if
Next objAttachment
Just make sure you decalre objAttachment at the top with:
Dim objAttachment as Attachment
Updated with full code from your example:
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strDeletedFiles As String
' Get the path to your My Documents folder
On Error Resume Next
' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
' The attachment folder needs to exist
' You can change this to another folder name of your choice
' Set the Attachment folder.
strFolderpath = "\\UKSH000-FILE06\Purchasing\New_Supplier_Set_Ups_&_Audits\ATTACHMENTS\TEST\"
' Check each selected item for attachments.
For Each objMsg In objSelection
For each objAttachment in objMsg.Attachments
if Right(objAttachment.FileName, 3) = "pdf" then
' Append the file name to the folder.
strFile = strFolderpath & objAttachment.FileName
' Save it
objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
end if
Next objAttachment
Next objMsg
ExitSub:
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub
