Excel VBA UserForm printscreen save as pdf












2















I have UserForm where I have button to take print screen of UserForm, paste to newly created worksheet and export it as pdf. Problems I have with current code are:



1) I want to fit print screen to one page, now it takes print screen and splits to two pages.



2) Higher resolution of print screen. Is it possible to increase resolution of print screen for more higher quality?



Code I use for button on UserForm:



Private Sub btnPrintPDF_Click()
'change to your button name
Dim pdfName As String
Dim newWS As Worksheet

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

keybd_event VK_LMENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0
keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0
keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
keybd_event VK_LMENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0

DoEvents 'Otherwise, all of screen would be pasted as if PrtScn rather than Alt+PrtScn was used for the copy.

Set newWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
newWS.PasteSpecial Format:="Bitmap", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
pdfName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & Sheets("MAIN").Range("D14").Value & "Project_Summary" & "_" & " " & Format(Now, "yyyy-mmm-dd") & ".pdf"
newWS.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
FileName:=pdfName, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
newWS.Delete
Unload Me
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MAIN").Activate
End Sub

          • Thanks! This one works for fitting to one page, but is there any way for making my screenshot taken more higher quality? I mean when I open newly created PDF it doesn't look like it was taken in 2018, more like in 1995.
