Hi Ken

I am new to macro concept

I need help to create a macro - which will enable to send the worksheet as PDF to email

I have 32 worksheets

1st sheet contains - mail id and person name
2nd sheet - contains data (ex: salary details)
3rd to 30th sheet - having the extracts from data (ie in the form of Payslip) - worksheet name same as per the person name in the 1st sheet

Now I need the macro as below

when i run a macro - it's has to create the worksheets(3rd to 30th) as pdf and need to mail to the persons individually as per the list in the first sheet

example

3rd sheet for me - it's need to be converted as pdf and has to be mailed to me alone
4th sheet for my collegue X - it's need to be converted as pdf and has to be mailed to x alone

Am using Excel 2007 and outlook 2007
 
Hi KEN

I have managed to generate the macro codings to convert the excel sheet range in to PDF and to send e-mail. Can you helpme

1. How to encrypt the PDF with password protection in the same macro?
2. How to encrypt the PDF to allow users to print the PDF only (ie no changes/copy of the text in the PDF)

Am using PDFcreator as a PDF genearator / Outlook 2007 as a mail client

Please help me

Thanks in advance
 
Can you post the code that you've come up with so far?

PS, I split this to a new thread so that we can focus on your issue specifically. :)
 
Hi Ken

Please find the codes as below

Code:
Sub PS_1()
'Dim pdfjob As Object
'Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
Dim sPDFName As String
Dim sPDFPath As String
Dim bRestart As Boolean
Dim StrTo As String
Dim StrSubject As String
Dim StrBody As String
Dim Send As Boolean
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
'/// Change the output file name here! ///
sPDFName = "XX.pdf"
sPDFPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator
Dim pdfjob As Object
Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
'Check if worksheet is empty and exit if so
If IsEmpty(ActiveSheet.UsedRange) Then Exit Sub
'Activate error handling and turn off screen updates
On Error GoTo EarlyExit
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Check if PDFCreator is already running and attempt to kill the process if so
With pdfjob
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup") = False Then
MsgBox "PDFCreator is Open.", vbCritical + _
vbOKOnly, "PrtPDFCreator"
Exit Sub
End If
.cOption("UseAutosave") = 1
.cOption("UseAutosaveDirectory") = 1
.cOption("AutosaveDirectory") = sPDFPath
.cOption("AutosaveFilename") = sPDFName
.cOption("AutosaveFormat") = 0 ' 0 = PDF
.cClearCache
End With
'Print the document to PDF
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$B$11:$K$27"
ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDFCreator"
'Wait until the print job has entered the print queue
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 1
DoEvents
Loop
pdfjob.cPrinterStop = False
'Wait until PDF creator is finished then release the objects
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 0
DoEvents
Loop
' pdfjob.cClose
' Set pdfjob = Nothing
'\\\\\ End Saving PDF
'Delete the PDF if it already exists
If Dir(sPDFPath & sPDFName) = sPDFName Then Kill (sPDFPath & sPDFName)
'Print the document to PDF
ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDFCreator"
'Wait until the print job has entered the print queue
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 1
DoEvents
Loop
pdfjob.cPrinterStop = False
'Wait until the file shows up before closing PDF Creator
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until Dir(sPDFPath & sPDFName) = sPDFName
'/////// Send PDF Invoice in Email
Dim toEmail As String
toEmail = Range("master!c3").Value
tosub = Range("master!b1").Value
toname = Range("master!b3").Value
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next

"Thank You !"
.attachments.Add ("C:\Documents and Settings\Muthu\Desktop\XX.pdf")
'.Attachments.Add sPDFPath & "\" & PrevInv
'.Send 'or use .Display
.Display
'.Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
'//////////// Save PDF
Skipemail:
'/// Close PDF File

Set pdfjob = Nothing

Exit Sub
EarlyExit:

MsgBox "There was an error encountered. PDFCreator has" & vbCrLf & _
"has been terminated. Please try again.", _
vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Error"
Resume Cleanup
End Sub
 
Okay, cool.

See up near the top where there are all those lines that start with .cOption? Plunk this in above the .cClearCache:

Code:
        'The following are required to set security of any kind
        .cOption("PDFUseSecurity") = 1
        .cOption("PDFOwnerPass") = 1
        .cOption("PDFOwnerPasswordString") = sMasterPass
        'To set individual security options
        .cOption("PDFDisallowCopy") = 1
        .cOption("PDFDisallowModifyContents") = 1
        .cOption("PDFDisallowPrinting") = 1
        'To force a user to enter a password before opening
        .cOption("PDFUserPass") = 1
        .cOption("PDFUserPasswordString") = sUserPass
        'To change to High encryption
        .cOption("PDFHighEncryption") = 1

You'll also want to add this around the other DIM statements right near the top of the macro:
Code:
Dim sMasterPass as string
Dim sUserPass as string
sMasterPass = "Admin"
sUserPass = "Password"

Change your sMasterPass to what you want to use, and the next to what you want to give to your users.

For each of the options above 1 is on, and 0 is off.

Hope this helps,
 
Help..! Ken

Hi Ken

Cool its working fine.

Thanks for your great work......
Hi Ken...! Need some , I am also using below code to solve my issue... But I am working on bit different lines. I have an excel file which has a database of salary details... like Emp ID, Date of Joining,Emp Name, Payments, eMail ID etc.. On sheet named as "DB", I also have a another sheet named as Payslip . I am looking for a module which could help me creating password protected PDF Files...... The Password would be combination of EMPID & MMYY. I would like to created PDF Files which are password protected using this dynamic code created with combination... All this has to be done for all entries in the sheet DB and should prepare these files in LOOP.. I guess I would be able to add code for emailing these created PDF Files via email ... Do you think you would be able to help.....
