I have an Excel 2003 workbook that contains a macro to copy certain of its sheets across to a new workbook, then save and close the new workbook. It does this several dozen times, with slightly different sheet selections each time.

I would like to add an extra step to the macro to export the secondary workbooks’ spreadsheets to PDF. The obvious way to do this would be to use a PDF printer and Excel’s built in Print function, but most PDF printers give you a ‘Save As…’ dialogue box before they finish. Obviously, typing this in individually for seventy-odd occasions lacks appeal – so I’d like something that allows me to set it ahead of time (probably ‘Use the filename of the file I’m printing minus its extension’) then just select the default options.

Any ideas for a free PDF printer that does this? Or a suitable alternative?

  1. Office 2007 allows for this. I have found PDFCreator to be good, the VBA is included in sample files, and have heard that CutePDF is also good. PDFCreator and CutePDF are free.
