Hi all,

I could do with some help please.. I understand you can print/save as PDF within Word 2007 but the file location seems to revert to my documents etc.

Is it possible (and some pointers would be appreciated) to create a macro which uses the save/print pdf funtion and save it in the same location as where the original document was opened from?



Thanks in advance

That's not the behaviour I see - the default save location for creating a PDF via File|Save As (using Word's PDF/XPS option) is the folder from which the document was opened.

Ive opened a range of documents and some save as pdf in the location the doc is and others defualt to document libraries. Im guessing it is possible to create a macro to do as I require?

Thanks

Created the macro to print to pdf:

Sub Word2PDF()
'
' Word2PDF Macro
'
'
ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= _
ActiveDocument.Path & "\" & ActiveDocument.Name & ".pdf", ExportFormat:= _
wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:= _
wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _
item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _
CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _
BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False
End Sub
