Dynamically Change File Name - ComboBox Excel Print - excel

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

Convert excel columns towards different pdf pages

Below you can find my code that is working for a certain area. But I want to add a new element in the code but I can't find it how I can do it. The first area is A1:E42, but now I have one worksheet where I have 3 area. A1:E42, H1:K42 and O1:R42). How do I need to rewrite my code that the first area comes on the first pdf page, the second area on the second page et cetera.
Sub SavePDF()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
With ws.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.PrintArea = "A1:E42"
End With
Set ws = Nothing
Sheets("Offerte_M").ExportAsFixedFormat x1TypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Intel\" & ActiveSheet.Range("F21").Value & ".pdf" _
, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
MsgBox "Offerte has been saved as PDF. Press send now."
I thought maybe this was the correct way, but that doesn't work also.
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:E42"
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = "H1:K42"
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = "O1:R42"
Worksheets(Array("Offerte_M")).Select.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:="C:\Intel\" & ActiveSheet.Range("F21").Value & ".pdf", _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Offerte_M.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Offerte_M.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

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 :)

Export the same range changed by a function to a PDF file

I have only found functions to export several sheets in a single PDF.
I want to export the same sheet and the same range, which is changing through a function, in a single PDF file.
For example, in the following code there is a loop that changes the values of a range three times.
How can I save a single PDF file that contains the range in triplicate and changed?
I tried arrays but I don't know how to implement in this specific case.
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 3
Call function_to_change_values 'this function change the values of range A1 to D5
'config printing:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$D$5" 'print area
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = 77
.Draft = False
.PaperSize = xlPaperA4
End With
'create PDF:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:="C:\myfile.pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
Next i

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()

With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Zoom = False
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = False
.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.Range("A01:R6, A26:R50").Address
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
