Hi. I'd like to add a progress bar to this macro so I know it worked or is processing. Any help out there?
code below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Sub Go() Dim dn As String, ps As PDFVBASettings Set ps = ActiveDocument.PDFSettings If ActiveDocument.Dirty Then ActiveDocument.Save On Error GoTo ErrHandler 'ps.ShowDialog dn = Left$(ActiveDocument.FullFileName, Len(ActiveDocument.FullFileName) - 4) & ".pdf" ActiveDocument.PublishToPdf dn ExitSub: Exit Sub ErrHandler: MsgBox "Error occured: " & Err.Description & Err.Number Resume ExitSub End Sub
Public Sub RunTask() Implements ICUIBackgroundTask.RunTask Running = True SavePDF End Sub Protected Sub SavePDF() Try app.ActiveDocument.PublishToPDF(filename) Catch ex As Exception app.FrameWork.ShowMessageBox(ex.Message) End Try Return End Sub
What about something using this ------^
PublishToPDF is an internal procedure, performed by background process,so I think you will not be able to use the progress bar.It can only be used in user cycles with counter. But you can check size of yourpdf-file or try to open it. If opens then pdf export is completed
Thanks Shark. I noticed that the Publish to Pdf in the menu utilizes the background task function but publishing a PDF thru this macro does not so I was just wondering why not and if I could somehow invoke the background task function with a macro.
