I have this macro which works, but doesn't save to a specific folder...
I've tried to use help to change/add things but doesn't seem to change the results
Do any of you know how to adapt this to save to a specific location?
thanks for your time....

Your macro saves the PDF to the folder XFolder that you choose from the dialog box. Where did you want it to be saved?
If you don't need to keep a separate copy of the PDF, and eliminate the need to check if it exists, because it never should, you could save it to the desktop then delete it after attaching it to the message e.g.

Sufficient code:


Sub M_snb()
With Application.FileDialog(4)
If .Show Then If Dir(.SelectedItems(1) & "\Example.pdf") = "" Then ThisWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat 0, .SelectedItems(1) & "\Example.pdf"
End With
End Sub
