Save (print) Seperate Letters to PDF?

**The Boosh!** · 03-30-2011, 07:02 AM

Hi all,

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out or point me in the right direction.

I've got a word document that contains 200+ letters (i.e 200 pages).

I'm wanting to save these 200 pages seperately in PDF format to a set directory (i.e desktop\letters)

I also want the code to name the file based on a line within the letter.

My current process is:
File > Print > select Current page > Adobe PDF > Type File Name> Print to folder on desktop.

Obviously this takes absolutely ages

I've attached the below as a vauge example of what i'm trying to acheive.

Please Please Help

Can you mail merge to the PDF printer? I'm assuming you have Adobe or some other pdf Distiller.

I've tried that but it just puts the 200+ letters into 1 PDF document rather than 200 seperate letters.

So i've found this, but i don't even know where to start with changing it so that the doc name is a merge field I set - (I'm more of an excel vba guy, word is completely new to me!)

Are you trying to print each page of one doc to different people? I guess someone here could help you write a macro or something to do that, but....

Typically you would create a single template letter...enter info for each receipent in a list....then mail merge would customize each letter to each person. Then you would have 200 people with individual letters addressed to each of them and with personalized greetings, etc.

EDIT: whoops, you have posted some code while I was typing...I'm too new to VBA to be of much help...even newer to Word.
