Using VBA how do I call up the Adobe Create PDF function

Question

  Sheets("Key Indicators").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF,
 Filename:=ArchivePath, Quality:=xlQualityStandard,
 IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
         :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

Currently this is what I have.

I understand how to ExportAsFixedFormat PDF but what I need to know how to do is to access the Create PDF function under Acrobat (As show in the picture below) using VBA. If I do ExportAsFixedFormat the links get flattened. Acrobat "Create PDF" would allow me to convert an Excel to PDF with hyperlinks included.

How would I do that?

I am using Excel 2016 and Adobe Pro DC

These are my adobe references

Answer 1

Sub PDF()
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
        "C:\Users\PCNAME\Documents\Book1.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
    True
End Sub

Please try the above codes

Acrobat Reference should work
Here is the guide from Adobe
Once added, you may use the following code Tip: It may lead you to correct coding -I'm not quite sure since I coded it "blindly" because I don't have Acrobat in my PC-. Debug step by step to see what's doing.

Sub ExportWithAcrobat()
Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp 'I'm not quite sure it's needed since we are creating the doc directly
Dim AcrobatDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
Dim numPages As Long
Dim WorkSheetToPDF As Worksheet
Const SaveFilePath = "C:\temp\MergedFile.pdf"
    Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") 'I'm not quite sure it's needed since we are creating the doc directly
    Set AcrobatDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    'it's going to be 0 at first since we just created
    numPages = AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages
    For Each WorkSheetToPDF In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If AcrobatDoc.InsertPages(numPages - 1, WorkSheetToPDF, 0, AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages(), True) = False Then 'you should be available to work with the code to see how to insert the sheets that you want in the created object ' 1. If Part1Document.InsertPages(numPages - 1, "ExcelSheet?", 0, AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages(), True) = False
    MsgBox "Cannot insert pages" & numPages
    Else ' 1. If Part1Document.InsertPages(numPages - 1, "ExcelSheet?", 0, AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages(), True) = False
    numPages = numPages + 1
    End If ' 1. If Part1Document.InsertPages(numPages - 1, "ExcelSheet?", 0, AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages(), True) = False
    Next WorkSheetToPDF
    If AcrobatDoc.Save(PDSaveFull, SaveFilePath) = False Then ' 2. If Part1Document.Save(PDSaveFull, "C:\temp\MergedFile.pdf") = False
    MsgBox "Cannot save the modified document"
    End If ' 2. If Part1Document.Save(PDSaveFull, "C:\temp\MergedFile.pdf") = False
End Sub
