I have an Excel sheet with macros. I export a pdf of a sheet using the following code:
Public Sub NowPrintThePage(ByVal LieferantPdfName As String)
PdfName = Sheets(LieferantPdfName).Range("F16").Value & " " & Mid(ThisWorkbook.Name, 10)
Sheets(LieferantPdfName).ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=PdfName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub
I do not save the pdf file. I open it, from a folder within Windows, such that the user can decide what to do with it.
If I open the Excel file from cloud storage (OneDrive, MS Teams, etc.), the macro throws an exception at the line with ExportAsFixedFormat(...)
.
My guess is, that Excel tries to save the pdf before displaying to the folder of the Excel file - which is not possible because it is loaded from the cloud.
Since I do not want to save the pdf file, what can I do to generate the pdf and show it to the user, even if on the cloud?
Get the user's TEMP folder with this VBA function: ENVIRON("TMP")
