Hi, I currently have a macro in Microsoft Word to take a mail merge and save individual files as individual pdfs. As of right now, I choose the folder to save all the files in. I would like to modify the last part to save files to a specific folder already created based on the original excel document I used to create the mail merge. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I pasted my macro below.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Merge_to_pdf()
'merges one record at a time to the chosen output folder
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, StrName As String, MainDoc As Document, i As Long
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
Set MainDoc = ActiveDocument
With MainDoc
For i = 1 To .MailMerge.DataSource.RecordCount
With .MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.SuppressBlankLines = True
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = i
.LastRecord = i
.ActiveRecord = i
If Trim(.DataFields("Last_Name")) = "" Then Exit For
StrName = .DataFields("Last_Name") & ", " & .DataFields("First_Name")
End With
.Execute Pause:=False
End With
With ActiveDocument
.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strFolder & "" & StrName & ".pdf", ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _
Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, _
KeepIRM:=True, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False
.Close SaveChanges:=False
End With
Next i
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
