VB

Sub InvoiceReport()
Dim myFile As String, lastRow As Long
myFile = "C:\Users\iaquino\Documents\Invoices\" & Sheets("Invoice").Range("A10") & "_" & Sheets("Invoice").Range("F4") & Format(Now(), "yyy-mm-dd") & ".pdf"
lastRow = Sheets("Invoice File").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
'Transfer data to Invoice File
Sheets("Invoice File").Cells(lastRow, 1) = Sheets("Invoice").Range("A10")
Sheets("Invoice File").Cells(lastRow, 2) = Sheets("Invoice").Range("F4")
Sheets("Invoice File").Cells(lastRow, 3) = Sheets("Invoice").Range("F28")
Sheets("Invoice File").Cells(lastRow, 4) = Now
Sheets("Invoice File").Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Sheets("Invoice File").Cells(lastRow, 5), Address:=myFile, TextToDisplay:=myFile
'Create invoice in PDF format
Sheets("Invoice").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=myFile
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'create invoice in XLSX format

And? Is there a question, or some useful information in there somewhere?

Do you use "Debug" functionality to trace exactly where error occurs?

Solution 1

There's few possible reasons of 1004 run-time error, but the most important is: you cannot open pdf in Excel application! Conclusion: you cannot read from pdf file!

On the first look:
1) source file hasn't been opened,
2) you did not set reference to a workbook (source file),
3) sheet does not exists or there are two or more opened files with the same sheet's name.

This is the first time I am using VBA but I was following a tutorial. I am suppose to be able to have a excel sheet with the info of the invoice from sheet 1 to sheet 2 where it created invoice as as a pdf so I can email or print.
