    Excel button for snapshot

    Good Morning All

    wondering if there is such as a button that can take a snapshot of a preselected set of cells, kind of like a macros. I know there is a "Camera" feature for excel but something to the extent of me being able to click or doubleclick on a image i pasted on my sheet that takes a snapshot and creates a PDF out of it. Maybe its too much to ask, just wondering though.


    Thank You all in advance

    Right click on the button /picture =>assign macro, and assign the macro to it.

    Edit the code to save it the way you want.

    Normally the pdf will print in the same way as your printer settings
