How to Create PDF in Excel and Immediately Send as Email - excel

Question

I have an Excel sheet which is calculating the Performance Indicators of the Employees. I want to send their performance indicators via email. I am trying to use the following code.
Option Explicit
Sub create_and_email_pdf()
Dim EmailSubject As String, EmailSignature As String
Dim CurrentMonth As String, DestFolder As String, PDFFile As String
Dim Email_To As String, Email_CC As String, Email_BCC As String
Dim OpenPDFAfterCreating As Boolean, AlwaysOverwritePDF As Boolean, DisplayEmail As Boolean
Dim OverwritePDF As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim OutlookApp As Object, OutlookMail As Object
CurrentMonth = ""
EmailSubject = "Invoice Attached for "
OpenPDFAfterCreating = False
AlwaysOverwritePDF = False
DisplayEmail = True
Email_To = ""
Email_CC = ""
Email_BCC = ""
' ******************************************************
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If .Show = True Then
DestFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
Else
MsgBox "You must specify a folder to save the PDF into." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Must Specify Destination Folder"
Exit Sub
End If
End With
CurrentMonth = Mid(ActiveSheet.Range("G2").Value, InStr(1, ActiveSheet.Range("G2").Value, " ") + 1)
PDFFile = DestFolder & Application.PathSeparator & ActiveSheet.Name _
& "_" & CurrentMonth & ".pdf"
If Len(Dir(PDFFile)) > 0 Then
If AlwaysOverwritePDF = False Then
OverwritePDF = MsgBox(PDFFile & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
On Error Resume Next
If OverwritePDF = vbYes Then
Kill PDFFile
Else
MsgBox "OK then, if you don't overwrite the existing PDF, I can't continue." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Exiting Macro"
Exit Sub
End If
Else
On Error Resume Next
Kill PDFFile
End If
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to delete existing file. Please make sure the file is not open or write protected." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Unable to Delete File"
Exit Sub
End If
End If
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, FileName:=PDFFile, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
:=False
'Create an Outlook object and new mail message
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutlookMail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
'Display email and specify To, Subject, etc
With OutlookMail
.Display
.To = Email_To
.CC = Email_CC
.BCC = Email_BCC
.Subject = EmailSubject & CurrentMonth
.Attachments.Add PDFFile
