VBA to send Excel Worksheet as PDF and Excel file - excel

Question

I found some coding to send my worksheet in an email as a pdf (I forgot what website it was on, so thank you if you created it on here!). I have been asked if I can include an excel version of the file in the email, along with the current pdf file (some people need it to copy and paste into other reports). Below is my current VBA. I cannot figure out how to also attach the current Worksheet as an excel file into the email as an attachment.
Thanks for any help!
Sub AttachActiveSheetPDF()
Dim IsCreated As Boolean
Dim i As Long
Dim PdfFile As String, Title As String
Dim OutlApp As Object
' Not sure for what the Title is
Title = Range("A1")
' Define PDF filename
PdfFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
i = InStrRev(PdfFile, ".")
If i > 1 Then PdfFile = Left(PdfFile, i - 1)
PdfFile = Format(Now(), "MM-dd-yyyy") & " File Name" & ".pdf"
' Export activesheet as PDF
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PaperSize = xlPaperLegal
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PdfFile, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End With
' Use already open Outlook if possible
On Error Resume Next
Set OutlApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err Then
Set OutlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
IsCreated = True
End If
OutlApp.Visible = True
On Error GoTo 0
' Prepare e-mail with PDF attachment
With OutlApp.CreateItem(0)
' Prepare e-mail
.Subject = "Email Name " & Format(Now(), "MM-dd-yyyy")
.To = "xxx" ' <-- Put email of the recipient here
.CC = "" ' <-- Put email of 'copy to' recipient here
.Body = "All," & vbLf & vbLf _
& "xxx." & vbLf & vbLf _
& "Regards," & vbLf _
& Application.UserName & vbLf & vbLf
.Attachments.Add PdfFile
' Try to send
On Error Resume Next
.Send
Application.Visible = True
If Err Then
MsgBox "E-mail was not sent", vbExclamation
Else
MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", vbInformation
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
' Delete PDF file
Kill PdfFile
' Release the memory of object variable
Set OutlApp = Nothing
End Sub

You could save a worksheet as pdf file and email it as an attachment using the below code:
Sub Saveaspdfandsend()
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xFolder As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object
Dim xUsedRng As Range
Set xSht = ActiveSheet
Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If xFileDlg.Show = True Then
xFolder = xFileDlg.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
xFolder = xFolder + "\" + xSht.Name + ".pdf"
'Check if file already exist
If Len(Dir(xFolder)) > 0 Then
xYesorNo = MsgBox(xFolder & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
On Error Resume Next
If xYesorNo = vbYes Then
Kill xFolder
Else
MsgBox "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
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
Set xUsedRng = xSht.UsedRange
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(xUsedRng.Cells) <> 0 Then
'Save as PDF file
xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard
'Create Outlook email
Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xEmailObj = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(0)
With xEmailObj
.Display
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = xSht.Name + ".pdf"
.Attachments.Add xFolder
If DisplayEmail = False Then
'.Send
End If
End With
Else
MsgBox "The active worksheet cannot be blank"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
