Generate PDF file

[rjplante]

I am trying to generate a PDF file from the code below. I have a situation where I mayneed to print 2 pages. I have highlighted to the code in red that I think may be the problem. I have tried the code after the ELSE statement for a single page printout and have got it to work. When I have added the IF/THEN to check for the second page, that is were I have run into trouble. I have the macro run, it hangs/crashes and I have to end the process PDFCreator.exe from the task manager. Then when I go back to the Excel file, it says it can't initialize PDFCreator.

What am I doing wrong in the code?

I am not an expert at VBA but everytime I do want something to go to a pdf file its "print" because my pdf writer is really a printer (it think) because is installed in my printer folder.

Just a thought.
