Excel 2013 macro to save pptx as pdf; error in code?

Hello MSDN community,
I know that this question probably was asked x1000 times, but i've been struggling for the past 6 hours to covert pptx to pdf via excel vba (this is required for my report generator, and in order to keep layout clean ad tidy i've decided to use PowerPoint,
because Word constantly mess things up).
Here's the code im using:
Dim ppt As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set ppt = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
If ppt Is Nothing Then
Set ppt = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set WDReport = ppt.Presentations.Open("C:\Users\User1\Documents\Folder\Final Report Template.pptx")
WDReport.UpdateLinks
Dim FileName2 As String
FileName2 = "C:\Users\User1\Documents\Folder\Complete Report\" & Sheet14.Range("Q3").Text & " No " & Sheet14.Range("U21").Text & " Report" & Sheet17.Range("E10").Text & ".pdf"
WDReport.ExportAsFixedFormat FileName2, ppFixedFormatTypePDF, ppFixedFormatIntentScreen
WDReport.Close
ppt.Quit
Set ppt = Nothing
Set WDReport = Nothing
But right after PPT file opens and updates links, i receive an error message "13 Type Mismatch" on the line WDReport.ExportAsFixedFormat
FileName2, ppFixedFormatTypePDF, ppFixedFormatIntentScreen. I've tried to replace WDReport with ActivePresentation, but received and error "429 ActiveX Component Cant Create Object".
Here's the list of Libraries activated:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library
Microsoft Word 15.0 Object Library
Microsoft PowerPoint 15.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library
Additional info:
1. When initially i was converting .docx to pdf via excel vba, everything worked out fine (well except for the format, ofcourse).
2. I've tried to change
FileName2 to FileName2
= "C:\Users\User1\Documents\Folder\Complete Report\Report.pdf", but without any success.
3. Ranges used in FileName2 use the following variable data:
Range("Q3") is Name (e.g. Test Company)
Range("U21") is Number (e.g. 1234567891011)
Range("E10") is Date (e.g. Feb-15)
So the final file name would be like "Test Company No 1234567891011 Report Feb-15.pdf".
Once again, it worked fine when i was converting .docx to pdf
4. I've run this part of macro directly from PowerPoint, and it worked out fine.
Dim FileName2 As String
FileName2 = "C:\Users\User1\Documents\Folder\Complete Report\Report.pdf"
ActivePresentation.ExportAsFixedFormat FileName2, ppFixedFormatTypePDF, ppFixedFormatIntentScreen, msoFalse
So i guess there might be a problem with my Excel-PowerPoint commands execution?
I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me with this issue. Thanks in advance!

This undoubtedly has to do with the FileName2 string, something must be incorrect with concatenation. As a test, in the VBA sub in Excel have the following
FileName2 = "C:\Users\User1\Documents\Folder\Complete Report\Report.pdf"
, I bet you the code would work :)

Photoshop CS6 - can't save as a PDF - error message

Hi - I am having problems saving a PDF in photoshop CS6.
There isn't an option to save as a PDF in the Save As function so I've been trying to do this through the Print Function.
When I get to the point where I press Save I get the following error messgae:
Any ideas why this is or how I can rectify this problem?!
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Without exact system info, details about the document, PDF settings used and so on nobody can tell you much. There could be any number of reasons why you neither can save as PDF nor print to PDF, the most obvious being an unsuitable color mode or a wrong document size.

Excel spreadsheet won't save as adobe PDF.

I'm trying to save an excel (2010) speadsheet as an adobe PDF. I keep getting the wait/loading symbol. Never had any trouble in the past doing this. I tried restarting the computer. Didn't help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Which operating system are you using?
Did you copy/move some plugins from an older version of photoshop into the photoshop cs6 Plug-ins folder?
Or in the photoshop preferences, did you point the Additional plugins to an older version of photoshop?

XI Pro, Excel 2013, Win 8.1: Opening a pdf embedeed in Excel starts Acrobat in Maximized Window

I am embedding (Insert/Object/Adobe Acrobat Document) pdf's in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm using the option to show the pdf as an icon.
That all works fine.
When I double click the icon Acrobat is starting in a maximized Windows window.
It is filling up my entire monitor with Acrobat.
Normally when I start Acrobat it takes the window shape from the last time I closed it.
Is there any way to control the Window size when opening a pdf from inside Excel?
Thanks.

When calling Excel 97 Macro from Labview 5.1, get error: cant find macro!

I have a macro written that I am trying to call from Labview. To assist in this task I downloaded an Excel Macro VI off the NI Websight. The VI came with an excel workbook that included a sample macro. I can run the example with no problems. I then modified the VI to fit what I am trying to do. I can get it to work with the Sample excel macro but not the one I created (I get an error saying it can't find the Macro). I have played with the timing and that has not worked. I have also noticed that when I use the sample Macro, it will work fine for a while then after a random number of executions, it will stop working and I will get the same error as with my Macro. In order to get it working ag
ain, I have to remove the sample worksheet (macro) and replace it with the original copy. I have been pulling my hair out for a couple of days now with this one so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure what the problem could be. The VI you speak of can be found at the following link:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/190d1f351297ef9a862567740073e2bc?OpenDocument
I ran the program for excel 2000 on my LabVIEW 6.1 about 50 times and did not get the error you reported. Your macro should not be corrupted with use. Have you considered reinstalling excel? I liked the idea about turning off multithreading. Do you see the same behavior if you run in high light execution mode?

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

Cannot Insert Object in Excel 2013

I am having trouble inserting PDF's in Excel 2013. I go to Insert-->Object-->Create from File then browse to the PDF and select the checkbox for "Display as Icon." After doing this i get a generic error message that says "Cannot Insert Object." No other details.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64
Office 2013 x64
Adobe Reader X and XI. Tried them both.
What I have tried:
The most common answer I have found was to disable the enhanced security in the Adobe Reader preferences. This does not help.
I also tried downgrading from Adobe Reader XI to Reader x, disabling enhanced security. That does not work either.
I have found a workaround in Excel by going to Insert-->Package and doing it that way, but it does not show the Adobe Reader icon in the spreadsheet when it's done. If there's a way to use this method and still have the adobe icon that'd be great.
I called Microsoft support and they think this is an Adobe issue, because I can insert other things via the create from file method, just not PDF's.
Other notes:
The Insert-->Object-->Create from File method works fine in Excel 2010 so I think that Adobe Reader doesn't do well with Excel 2013.
I need the inserted PDF's in spreadsheets to look a certain way. They must have the Adobe Icon and I need to be able to change the text below the icon.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Update:
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried a different PDF reader and the insert in Excel works fine. I really would prefer to use Adobe though. This leads me to believe that maybe it's just a setting or something in Adobe reader. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Data filter in Excel 2013 disappears when Excel is reopened

I recently upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013. Unlike the previous versions of Excel, the data filter in Excel 2013 disappears. Save the Excel with filters applied, close and reopen
the file, filter is not retained. Even the filter mark is not to be seen. Not sure if its a bug,
but there are other tiny such bugs were encountered in 2013 Excel.

Hi,
Based on my test, Data filter does not lost when we re-open the file in Excel 2013. Thus, I think it is not a bug. Thus, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue occur with the previous file that created with Office 2010?
Have you tried to re-create a new file to test?
If this issue occur only with the previous file that created with Office 2010, this issue might be caused by the file compatibility, pleases use compatibility checker to update the files:
https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Check-file-compatibility-with-earlier-versions-d9856881-5875-4c58-915f-06859b2943a7
If this issue occur with all files even with a new file, please try to repair Office 2013.
Hope it's helpful.
Thanks

Combining Excel 2013 in Acrobat XI

Save As Not Working Properly in Excel 2013

This is a very strange issue that my customer is having.
Brand new PC (64-bit Dell), came with OEM version of Office 2013 Pro.
They open documents supplied by 3rd party. These documents have no extension in file name, but they are basically just text files. They were created by other application, exporting a report. So if we open the file with Notepad, it looks
like a simple report text file with headers, columns, data, etc.
The requirement is to save these files with a password and pass them on to the end user. They have chosen Excel to do this with, since the end user may need to massage the data in the report.
Here is the issue: We open the file, Excel suggests columns and we accept all defaults. When we choose Save As, then choose Excel Workbook (*.xlsx), the file saves as a PDF document. It is still called filename.xlsx, but it has an Adobe
Acrobat icon next to the file name in Explorer. If we double click on it, we get an adobe message saying invalid file format. So even with an xlsx extension, it still seems to be an acrobat document.
If when we Save As, we select Excel 97-2003 document (*.xls), everything works fine. This is only a problem when using current excel format.
Any suggestions? Thanks...

Converting excel 2013 to pdf with adobe acrobat 9

I have tried and failed many times to convert an excel 2013 spreadsheet into a pdf with adobe acrobat 9.
Is this a compatibility issue, Acrobat 9 needs upgrade?

If you have Excel 2013, you don't need Acrobat to convert to PDF.
In Excel, click File > Save As PDF

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
folder.
The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
Applied GPOs
Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
Administrative Templates
Extra Registry Settings
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
Any ideas?
I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

Thanks in advance for any help. I also have a pps ticket open with Microsoft, but they're dragging their feet.

Creation of PDF from Excel 2013 - problem with black color

Hi,
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
In past I used Adobe printer and it works fine with Excel 2000 and 2010 (only these two versions I used in past) Now I switched to Excel 2013 and when I use Adobe printer to print crosswords into PDF problem occurs with lines done in Excel (insert - shapes - line). I use black color for these lines but in PDF they appears as rich black (TIC 300%). Why it is not 100% black? I know that Excel works in RGB but in past I was always able to change settings in printer profiles (Adobe printer) to reach 100 % black without CMY colors. Now I have no idea. I attached picture of pdf how it looks in Adobe Acrobat in Outpur preview.
Thank you in advance for any advice

These are tough issues I suspect and the answer you need is probably trivial (it is finding it). I will make some suggestions, but I have no idea if any will work.
- In the printer under the Properties>Layout>Advanced>print quality, I use 300 dpi (default is 1200).
- Under the printer preferences>settings>edit the settings file, I use again 300 dpi (default is 1200 dpi).
These may not fix your issue, but migth be worth a try. You could also try using the preflight script to change to gray-scale. It may not make any changes, but again may be worth a try.
All I am trying to suggest are the things I would be looking at. Maybe they will lead you someplace. Others may be by with better suggestions in time.
