It is time-consuming to achieve it manually step by step. In this article, we will show you how to quickly save a worksheet as a PDF file and send it automatically as an attachment through Outlook in Excel.

Save a worksheet as PDF file and email it as an attachment with VBA code

You can run the below VBA code to automatically save active worksheet as a PDF file, and then email it as an attachment through Outlook. Please do as follows.

1. Open the worksheet you will save as PDF and send, then press the Alt + F11 keys simultaneously to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, click Insert > Module. Then copy and paste the below VBA code into the Code window. See screenshot:

VBA code: Save a worksheet as PDF file and email it as an attachment

Sub Saveaspdfandsend()
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xFolder As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object
Dim xUsedRng As Range

Set xSht = ActiveSheet
Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

If xFileDlg.Show = True Then
   xFolder = xFileDlg.SelectedItems(1)
Else
   MsgBox "You must specify a folder to save the PDF into." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Must Specify Destination Folder"
   Exit Sub
End If
xFolder = xFolder + "\" + xSht.Name + ".pdf"

'Check if file already exist
If Len(Dir(xFolder)) > 0 Then
    xYesorNo = MsgBox(xFolder & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
                      vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
    On Error Resume Next
    If xYesorNo = vbYes Then
        Kill xFolder
    Else
        MsgBox "if you don't overwrite the existing PDF, I can't continue." _
                    & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Exiting Macro"
        Exit Sub
    End If
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        MsgBox "Unable to delete existing file.  Please make sure the file is not open or write protected." _
                    & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Unable to Delete File"
        Exit Sub
    End If
End If

Set xUsedRng = xSht.UsedRange
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(xUsedRng.Cells) <> 0 Then
    'Save as PDF file 
    xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard
    
    'Create Outlook email 
    Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set xEmailObj = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(0)
    With xEmailObj
        .Display
        .To = ""
        .CC = ""
        .Subject = xSht.Name + ".pdf"
        .Attachments.Add xFolder
        If DisplayEmail = False Then
            '.Send
        End If
    End With
Else
  MsgBox "The active worksheet cannot be blank"
  Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

3. Press the F5 key to run the code. In the Browse dialog box, please select a folder to save this PDF file, and then click the OK button.

Notes:

1. Now the active worksheet is saved as PDF file. And the PDF file is named with the worksheet name.
2. If the active worksheet is blank, you will get a dialog box as below screenshot shown after clicking the OK button.

4. Now a new Outlook email is created and you can see the PDF file is listed as an attachment in the Attached filed. See screenshot:

5. Please compose this email and then send it.
6. This code is only available when you use Outlook as your mail program.

Hello, I am a total noob when doing this; so I apologize in advance.

My work has us email them our hours bi weekly, I am based in Arizona US. But I travel for work to Germany. My ADP time management app doesn't work well, given the time difference. So I email my hours, but it's annoying have to type it all every time. So I made a sheet in excel to help me out.
I am using the code posted above to attach pdf attachment to email. But I wanted to add the active sheet in the email body as well. How would I go about it using the same code posted in above. Basically I want to have a button to attach pdf of sheet and in the email body have a screenshot of the same sheet, But I also want my signature below.
I need both options in one button.
(I attached an image of what I mean about screenshot in email body )

Hi Mayko,
The following VBA code can help you. After running the code, you need to select a folder to save the pdf file. Then, the pdf file will be inserted as an attachment to the email, and a screenshot of the contents of the currently active worksheet and the Outlook signature will be added to the body of the email.

Hi Cipri,
Suppose you want to name the pdf file with the value of A1.
Find the following line in the VBA code:
xFolder = xFolder + "\" + xSht.Name + ".pdf"

Then replace it with the line below.
xFolder = xFolder + "\" + Range("A1") + ".pdf"

Hi Crystal.

Is there any possibility to save the pdf automatically to a specific folder with the sheet name followed by date and time for example?

I have tried to run one of your codes but it gives me an error at this line

xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard

Thank you!

Hi Jurandir,
If you need a button to run the VBA code, please do as follows.
1. Click Develper > Insert > Button (Form Control), then draw a button in a worksheet.
2. After drawing the button, an Assign Macro dialog box pops up, click the New button.
3. Copy the VBA code except the first and last lines, and then paste it between the existing lines in the Code window.
4. Press the Alt + Q keys to close the Code window.
Then you can press the button to run the code.

How do I edit this code to only save cells ("a1:r99") to save as the PDF. I have extra stuff on the sides I don't want in my PDF document.
Sub Saveaspdfandsend()
'Updated by Extendoffice 20210209
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xFolder As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object
Dim xUsedRng As Range
Dim xStrName As String
Dim xV As Variant

Set xSht = ActiveSheet
Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

If xFileDlg.Show = True Then
xFolder = xFileDlg.SelectedItems(1)
Else
MsgBox "You must specify a folder to save the PDF into." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Must Specify Destination Folder"
Exit Sub
End If
xStrName = ""
xV = Application.InputBox("Please enter the filename:", "Kutools for Excel", , , , , , 2)
If xV = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
xStrName = xV
If xStrName = "" Then
MsgBox ("No filename entered, exiting process!")
Exit Sub
End If

xFolder = xFolder + "\" + xStrName + ".pdf"
'Check if file already exist
If Len(Dir(xFolder)) > 0 Then
xYesorNo = MsgBox(xFolder & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
On Error Resume Next
If xYesorNo = vbYes Then
Kill xFolder
Else
MsgBox "if you don't overwrite the existing PDF, I can't continue." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Exiting Macro"
Exit Sub
End If
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to delete existing file. Please make sure the file is not open or write protected." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Unable to Delete File"
Exit Sub
End If
End If

Set xUsedRng = xSht.UsedRange
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(xUsedRng.Cells) <> 0 Then
'Save as PDF file
xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard

'Create Outlook email
Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xEmailObj = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(0)
With xEmailObj
.Display
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = xSht.Name + ".pdf"
.Attachments.Add xFolder
If DisplayEmail = False Then
'.Send
End If
End With
Else
MsgBox "The active worksheet cannot be blank"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Hello, I just tried this code on one of my worksheets and I have print areas set so the extra stuff at the bottom did not appear in the pdf. Try it!
