Launch macro sub after hitting "create pdf" button in word

Hi webharvest,

I'm not sure you can intercept the pdf Addin's code. However, you may be able to achieve what you're after in all cases via the 'BeforePrint' event.

Using Events requires that you instantiate the app object class. To do this, create a new class module to register your events. At the top of the module put:

Code:

Public WithEvents wdApp As Word.Application
Public WithEvents wdDoc As Word.Document

Then, in a normal code module, put:

Code:

Dim wdAppClass As New ThisApplication
Public Sub AutoExec()
Set wdAppClass.wdApp = Word.Application
End Sub

This will allow you to get events from your Word document. Finally, in the 'ThisDocument' module, insert:

Code:

Private Sub wdApp_DocumentBeforePrint(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.Options.PrintHiddenText = False
End Sub
