Save multiple sheets to .pdf
Solution 1:
Start by selecting the sheets you want to combine:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Select
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\tempo.pdf", Quality:= xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
Solution 2:
Similar to Tim's answer - but with a check for 2007 (where the PDF export is not installed by default):
Public Sub subCreatePDF() If Not IsPDFLibraryInstalled Then 'Better show this as a userform with a proper link: MsgBox "Please install the Addin to export to PDF. You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4d951911-3e7e-4ae6-b059-a2e79ed87041". Exit Sub End If ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _ Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & _ ActiveSheet.Name & " für " & Range("SelectedName").Value & ".pdf", _ Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, _ IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True End Sub Private Function IsPDFLibraryInstalled() As Boolean 'Credits go to Ron DeBruin (http://www.rondebruin.nl/pdf.htm) IsPDFLibraryInstalled = _ (Dir(Environ("commonprogramfiles") & _ "\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE" & _ Format(Val(Application.Version), "00") & _ "\EXP_PDF.DLL") <> "") End Function

I recommend adding the following line after the export to PDF:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Select
(where eg. Sheet1
is the single sheet you want to be active afterwards)
Leaving multiple sheets in a selected state may cause problems executing some code. (eg. unprotect doesn't function properly when multiple sheets are actively selected.)
