I am trying to split a pdf into multiple new files per page.
I found this code on Excel Forum
I modified it to to suit my folder path and file.
I have also added the Acrobat.tdl library to references.(Don't have the actual acrobat pro installed. Followed the steps suggested in this link)
However, when I try to run the code, I get the error - Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object.
The error occurs on the line Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.pdDoc")
Here is the full code:
Sub SplitPDF()
Dim PDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc, newPDF As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
Dim PDPage As Acrobat.CAcroPDPage
Dim thePDF As String, PNum As Long
Dim f As String, i As Integer, Result As Variant, NewName As String
f = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
thePDF = f & "CDE_9740240D_2020-09-08.pdf"
Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.pdDoc")
Result = PDDoc.Open(thePDF)
If Not Result Then
MsgBox "Can't open file: " & thePDF
Exit Sub
End If
'...
PNum = PDDoc.GetNumPages
For i = 0 To PNum - 1
Set newPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.pdDoc")
newPDF.Create
NewName = f & " Page_" & i & "_of_" & PNum & ".pdf"
newPDF.InsertPages -1, PDDoc, i, 1, 0
newPDF.Save 1, NewName
newPDF.Close
Set newPDF = Nothing
Next i
End Sub
Can someone please help me make this code work.

I have managed convert a list of images onto pdf, then gathered them in a single file and then print them as multiple pages 10 columns x 14 rows so I can print in a single sheet 140 original images.
All of these with sendkeys method which was absolutely madness and frustrating but at the end it works pretty fine, the only handicap is that I have to do this almost everyday and once I run the sendkeys macro I can't do nothing with my computer until it ends which could probably be hours
I'm trying to do this in a less "messy" way
I have managed to convert the images in pdf easely with this code I modified from a search on internet (just in case someone find it usefull for him/her)

But I don't have any clue on how to print several pages of the pdf into a single one. Not interested in only 16 pages per sheet (since the images I try to print are QR codes 12mmx12mm so it fits pretty fine 140 of them in a single sheet) which could be more or less easy if you set adobe pdf as your default printer and setup it to print 16 pages per sheet (I also found part of a code that could fit to this purpose)
Any clue will be apreciated
Thanks
I have already run these codes successfully more than 200 times as I download files on daily basis.
Also having another copies of same code in different drives as reference in case of any issue.
Last night I re-installed my Win10 and office 2019 pro plus both are updated to latest.
And now the codes are not running.
I am not a hard core programmer, not able to understand what's wrong with them. Do I need to install any reference library or .net framework or something else.
The codes stopped at
"Name oldFullName As newfullname"
2 files are there do be downloaded and renamed
The codes get 1st file successfully but, do not rename it so not going to 2nd loop to download 2nd file and to further rename that.

I have an Excel file with hundreds of Customer names and several article numbers.
I want to check if a folder with selected customer name exists and create a folder if it is missing.
Once the customer folder is found or created, check if there is a folder for each article number and if it is missing, create one.
I found code that seems to do all that and more posted by Scott Holtzman.
I have referenced Microsoft Scripting Runtime as the code requests.
Both of the "If not" statements are marked red and the pop-up window only says "Compile error".
I checked the syntax of "If not" statements and it seems to be correct.

Take a look at the below example, it shows one of the possible approaches using recursive sub call:
Option Explicit
Sub TestArrays()
Dim aCustomers
Dim aArticles
Dim sCustomer
Dim sArticle
Dim sPath
sPath = "C:\Test"
aCustomers = Array("Customer01", "Customer02", "Customer03", "Customer04", "Customer05")
aArticles = Array("Article01", "Article02", "Article03", "Article04", "Article05")
For Each sCustomer In aCustomers
For Each sArticle In aArticles
SmartCreateFolder sPath & "\" & sCustomer & "\" & sArticle
Next
Next
End Sub
Sub TestFromSheet()
Dim aCustomers
Dim aArticles
Dim i
Dim j
Dim sPath
sPath = "C:\Test"
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
aCustomers = .Range(.Range("A1"), .Range("A1").End(xlDown)).Value
aArticles = .Range("B1:B10").Value
End With
For i = LBound(aCustomers, 1) To UBound(aCustomers, 1)
For j = LBound(aArticles, 1) To UBound(aArticles, 1)
SmartCreateFolder sPath & "\" & aCustomers(i, 1) & "\" & aArticles(j, 1)
Next
Next
End Sub
Sub SmartCreateFolder(sFolder)
Static oFSO As Object
If oFSO Is Nothing Then Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If Not .FolderExists(sFolder) Then
SmartCreateFolder .GetParentFolderName(sFolder)

End If

Sub TestArrays() checks and creates folders for customers and articles from the hardcoded arrays, and Sub TestFromSheet() gets customers and articles from the first worksheet, as an example customers range from A1 up to the last element, so it should be more than one element there, and articles set to fixed range B1:B10, like shown below:
The StrComp Issue
You cannot use StrComp, its a reserved word, actually a string function. I lost about 15 minutes the other day on this issue.
VBA says: Returns a Variant (Integer) indicating the result of a string comparison.
If you want to shorthand a bunch of that code, use MKDIR to create each level of folder\subfolder with error pass-over.
Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim pth As String
pth = "c:\test\abc\123\test_again\XYZ\01-20-2019"
'folder may or may not exist
makeFolder pth
'folder definitely exists
End Sub
Sub makeFolder(fldr As String)
Dim i As Long, arr As Variant
'folder may or may not exist
arr = Split(fldr, Chr(92))
fldr = arr(LBound(arr))
On Error Resume Next
For i = LBound(arr) + 1 To UBound(arr)
fldr = Join(Array(fldr, arr(i)), Chr(92))
MkDir fldr
Next i
On Error GoTo 0
'folder definitely exists
End Sub
To rename an existing file to a new location WITH creation of all subdirectories, you can use:
File_Name_OLD = File_Pad_OLD & "Test.txt"
File_Pad_NEW = "e:\temp\test1\test2\test3\"
File_Name_NEW = File_Pad_NEW & "Test.txt"
X = File_Pad_NEW
A = 1
Do Until A = 0
A = InStr(X, "\")
Y = Y & Left(X, A)
X = Mid(X, A + 1)
If Dir(Y, 16) = "" Then MkDir Y
Loop
Name File_Name_OLD As File_Name_NEW
This is creating the new path with subdirectories and renames the old file to the new one.
I'm trying to combine several excel files into one. For this I've been using and modifying an old answer I found here, but I ran into trouble while running it on Excel 2016 for Mac (it worked ok with Excel 2011 for Mac, with some changes).
In Excel 2016 (Mac), the following code runs through the loop once, after which it prints the name of the first file in the selected folder, but then it stops.
In Excel 2011 (Mac), it correctly prints the names of all files in the selected folder.
Sub wat()
Dim FilesFolder As String, strFile As String
'mac excel 2011
'FilesFolder = MacScript("(choose folder with prompt ""dis"") as string")
'mac excel 2016
FilesFolder = MacScript("return posix path of (choose folder with prompt ""dat"") as string")
If FilesFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(FilesFolder)
Do While Len(strFile) > 0
Debug.Print "1. " & strFile
strFile = Dir
Loop
MsgBox "ded"
End Sub
So, I'm pretty new at this, but it looks to me like strFile = Dir is not working properly.
I looked at the Ron deBruin page:
Loop through Files in Folder on a Mac (Dir for Mac Excel)
but to be honest that was a little too complicated for me to comprehend and modify to my needs.
Any help is appreciated, and thanks for the patience!

How to get the size of the posters by using vba excel. I am using windows 7 operating system.
Images are present on some other path. Ex. d:\posterbank\a.jpeg,b.jpeg and excel file contains only names like a.jpeg, b.jpeg.
I want to check if these posters are there if yes need to check size of these.
A = LTrim(RTrim(Sheets(sheetno).Range("m" & rowno).Value))
postername = Left(A, Len(A) - 4) & ".bmp"
If filesys.fileExists(Poster_SPath & "\" & postername) Then
Else: Call appendtofile(vbrLf & "Not found " & Eng_Title & " " & postername, Logfile_Path & "\" & "log.txt")

Not tested, but using this as reference, it looks like it should be possible to load the image like this.
set myImg = loadpicture(Poster_SPath & "\" & postername & ".bmp")
And then get the width and height like this.
myImg.height
myImg.width
