Print to pdf and fit rows on one page - excel

The following code does not work correctly. I am attempting to print to pdf and fit all rows on one page. Any suggestions?
For Each sheet1 In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With sheet1.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
End With
Next sheet1
worbook1.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

In order to put your worksheet in one printable page you will need to make both FitToPagesTall and FitToPageWide equal to 1.
See below for the revised code:
For Each sheet1 In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With sheet1.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.FitToPagesWide = 1
End With
Next sheet1
worbook1.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Quality:=xlQualityStandard,_
IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

I set both .FitToPagesTall = 1 and .FitToPagesWide = 1 and tried to execute it on a sample Excel file. It doesn't seem to work correctly. Below is the links to the Excel file and PDFs created when printed manually using Excel's 'Print-Fit all rows on one page' function and the one created by the VBA.

Fill set columns to pdf

I am exporting a .xlsm sheet to PDF using Visual Basic (VBA).
I only want to export the columns A:Z.
I have tried this:
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With ws.PageSetup
.PrintArea = "$A:$Z"
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = False
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.PaperSize = xlPaperA3
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.25)
End With
Next
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Diagram").Select
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=strFilename, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=True, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
But I get space on the right side like it has filled the whole page just hid the columns I didn't select...
Is it any way to fix this problem and make column A:Z fill the whole page?
Any help is greatly appreciated :)

How to export multiple ranges to PDF on one sheet only using VBA

I am trying to export multiple ranges to PDF and fit on one single sheet only, what property am I missing to fix this issue? Right now it is split to two multiple sheets on one PDF.
Sub Printing()
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Zoom = False
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = False
.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.Range("A01:R6, A26:R50").Address
End With
Application.PrintCommunication = True
fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\test.pdf"
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=fname, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub

VBA ExportAsFixedFormat to PDF for a range and changing display of output

I have the below code which outputs my desired range to a PDF files and correctly fits it to one portrait page:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
rng.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=fSName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
However, on my PDF I have row letters on the left and an extra blank bar above my titles like so:
How can I get rid of these? I do not want them displayed and they have only appeared since I have added this section:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
You need to set
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintHeadings = False
to get rid of these column and row headings.
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.PrintHeadings = False
End With

Excel VBA Output to PDF Zoom %

Is there a way to control the zoom % on the PDF when it is printed via a macro? I have zoomed in on the spreadsheet at 100% but the PDF always shows at 79.3% and it's really hard to see. If it is zoomed in at 200%, it shows perfectly fine on the PDF. I would normally ignore this aspect and just tell the user to zoom in but it's for the CEO and, ya know.
Here is what I have:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Sel_Manager As String
'Specify headers to be repeated at the top
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = "$5:$10"
.PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$M"
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
'Manager selection through simple Inputbox
Sel_Manager = ComboBox1
'Insert autofilter for worksheet
Cells.Select
Selection.AutoFilter
'Select manager defined in inputbox
ActiveSheet.Range("B10", Range("M10").End(xlDown)).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Sel_Manager
ActiveSheet.Range("B10", Range("M10").End(xlDown)).AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="A"
'Select range to be printed and specify manager in filename
ActiveSheet.Range("B10", Range("M10").End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
Sel_Manager + ".pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Application.PrintCommunication = True
End Sub
Before you end the sub, can you add those lines to your code please.
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
'.PrintArea = Worksheets(ReportWsName).UsedRange
.FitToPagesWide = 1
'.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
Application.PrintCommunication = True

Dynamically Change File Name - ComboBox Excel Print

How can I have the name of the pdf dynamically changed based on Sel_Manager (combobox1) ? The viewers would like to print multiple PDFs and show them on the screen at the same time. Thank you in advance!
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Sel_Manager As String
'Specify headers to be repeated at the top
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = "$5:$9"
.PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$M"
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
'Manager selection through simple Inputbox
Sel_Manager = ComboBox1
'Insert autofilter for worksheet
Cells.Select
Selection.AutoFilter
'Select manager defined in inputbox
ActiveSheet.Range("B14", Range("M14").End(xlDown)).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Sel_Manager
'Select range to be printed and specify manager in filename
ActiveSheet.Range("B14", Range("M14").End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"Manager.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End Sub
Answer found -
Selection.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
Sel_Manager + ".pdf",
