The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Convert Excel to PDF using Visual Basic, Adobe Distiller

Asked by michael1174 in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: pdf, excel, adobe, distiller, convert

I'm trying to convert each excel tab to a pdf using the pdf distiller.  I am able to create some of the pdfs, but I get an error and it doesn't create all of the pdfs.

I get the following error message:

"do not send fonts to distiller"

Even though I have it unchecked in the properties.  Like I metioned it does create some of the pdfs, but then errors out and doesn't finish.

Here is my code:

'convert to pdfs
Dim pdfDist As New ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller
Dim OriginalPrinter, PDFPrinter As String
Dim sName, PSFileName, PDFFileName As String
Dim s As Worksheet
Dim fs As Object

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Good old FSO

'Identify printers
OriginalPrinter = Application.Printer.DeviceName 'Application.ActivePrinter

'MsgBox OriginalPrinter
PDFPrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne01:" 'Change this to suit the Acrobat Distiller printer
   
'Cycle through each sheet, retrieves sheet name and generate PS file in selected folder
For Each s In oWB.Worksheets
    sName = s.Name 'Sheet name
    If sName = "Access" Then GoTo MoveOn 'Here you can identify sheets you don't want printed
    PSFileName = DLookup("[ExcelTemplatePath]", "tblSetup") & "\" & strOrderID & "\" & sName & ".PS" 'Converts sheet name to file path
    PDFFileName = Left(PSFileName, Len(PSFileName) - 2) & "PDF"
    'Print to PS file in nominated folder
    s.PrintOut Copies:=1, preview:=False, ActivePrinter:=PDFPrinter, printtofile:=True, collate:=True, prtofilename:=PSFileName
    'Convert PS to PDF using the method from PDFDistiller class
    pdfDist.FileToPDF PSFileName, PDFFileName, ""
MoveOn:
Next s

Set pdfDist = Nothing 'Clears the pipes
'Waits until last PDF has been processed then trashes PS & LOG files
Do Until fs.FileExists(PDFFileName)
Loop
fs.DeleteFile DLookup("[ExcelTemplatePath]", "tblSetup") & "\" & strOrderID & "\*.PS"
fs.DeleteFile DLookup("[ExcelTemplatePath]", "tblSetup") & "\" & strOrderID & "\*.LOG"
Application.Printer = OriginalPrinter 'Resets to original printer selection in Excel
