Creating a folder in excel using VBA and then saving a sheet as pdf in that folder

As you were able to copy your VBA procedures into your post, I will assume that you are not having a problem in using the VBA Editor.

Your two procedures have different values (names) for the directories and files to be used. You'll need to use consistent values; you'll see how I handle that by defining/evaluating them in just one place in the code.

So overall, this is a question of design. But first, let's confirm what needs to be done. The code should do these tasks:

1. Determine the filename and the fully-qualified directory name (in part by picking values out from specific cells in the currently-active worksheet).
2. Create the directory if it does not already exist.
3. Do something special (issue a message and stop or quit?) if the directory does not exist and cannot be created (e.g., if the hard drive is out of space, or the user does not have permission to create the directory, or the fully-qualified directory name is longer than 255 characters or the requested name includes invalid characters or...).
4. OTOH, if the directory is now available (whether it already existed or was just created), save the active worksheet (as a PDF) in it.
5. Do something special (issue a message and stop or quit?) if the worksheet could not be saved, or provide some indication of success if it could be saved.

In design there are going to be multiple options, so just take the following as a suggestion.

1. Create a new procedure (probably a Sub) that is overall in charge of the tasks. I will call it SaveFinancialDataToPlace1. (it's possible that "Place1" should be "Invoicing", but I cannot safely assume that.)
2. Within SaveFinancialDataToPlace1, place the code to carry out task #1. (I recommend that _this_ is the place for grabbing all needed information from the specific cells, not in Macro1.)
3. Task #2 is generic work (i.e., you may want this capability for future projects) , so put it into a second procedure which you will call ("invoke"), passing to it the fully-qualified directory name. The second procedure will be a Function rather than a Sub, using some of the code in Macro1, and it will pass information back to tell SaveFinancialDataToPlace1 whether it was successful. I will call this procedure MakeDirectoryAsNeeded.
4. Write code in SaveFinancialDataToPlace1 to check the result of calling MakeDirectoryAsNeeded and act accordingly.
5. Similar to step 3, create a third procedure to do this work (mostly covered by the SaveAsPDF procedure). I will call this function ExportWorksheetAsPDF.
6. Write code in SaveFinancialDataToPlace1 to call this function, passing to it the name of the worksheet, the fully-qualified directory name and filename.
7. Write code in SaveFinancialDataToPlace1 to check the result of calling ExportWorksheetAsPDF, and act accordingly.

As that may seem vague, here's code for what I'm suggesting:

Public Sub SaveFinancialDataToPlace1()
'   This procedure extracts information from specific cells in the active
'       worksheet to determine where to save the [...?] data; it then
'       determines where to save the worksheet data, and saves it there as
'       a PDF file.

    Const strPROCEDURE_NAME As String = "SaveFinancialDataToPlace1"
    Const strBASE_PATH As String = _
        "C:\Users\De Bruin Home\Dropbox\OCEANLINK\OCEANLINKLAUNCH\Financials\Job Sheets\"
    
    Dim strWorksheetName    As String
    Dim strFilename     As String
    Dim strDirname      As String   'the subdirectory name
    Dim strFullDirName As String
    Dim strPathname     As String
    Dim strResult   As String
    
    '----   Clear any prior message in the status bar.
    Application.StatusBar = ""
    
    '----   Capture here the identity of the active worksheet.
    strWorksheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
    
    '----   Retrieve values from the worksheet.
    With Worksheets(strWorksheetName)
        strDirname = .Range("G3").Value ' New directory name
        strFilename = .Range("B5").Value & .Range("G3").Value & " " _
                & .Range("B6").Text 'New file name
    End With
    If strDirname = "" Then
        Call MsgBox("Cell G3 needs to contain a subdirectory name." _
                , vbExclamation Or vbOKOnly, strPROCEDURE_NAME)
        Exit Sub
    End If
    '       (More simple validation could be included here.) #ToDo
    
    '----   Derive related values.
    strFullDirName = strBASE_PATH & "\" & strDirname
    strPathname = strFullDirName & "\" & strFilename
    
    '----   Ensure that the desired destination directory exists.
    strResult = MakeDirectoryAsNeeded(strFullDirName)
    If strResult <> "Success" Then
        Call MsgBox("Problem regarding the destination directory (" _
                & strFullDirName & "):" & vbCrLf & strResult)
        Exit Sub
    End If

    strResult = ExportWorksheetAsPDF(strWorksheetName, strPathname)
    If strResult = "Success" Then

                & " was successfully exported to a PDF"
    Else
        Application.StatusBar = "Processing error!"
        Call MsgBox("Error while saving worksheet " & strWorksheetName _
                & ":" & vbCrLf & strResult, vbExclamation Or vbOKOnly _
                , strPROCEDURE_NAME)
        Exit Sub    '(to be explicit)
    End If

Miscellaneous notes:

• The "On Error Resume Next" statement hides processing errors (within its procedure), and so it should be used cautiously. Specifically, rarely should you put that at the top of a procedure.
• Dim strFilename, strDirname, strPathname, strDefpath As String - Only strDefpath is defined as a String; the other variables are each implicitly defined as a Variant. That's typically not a problem, but if you want each to be a String, the syntax is "Dim strFilename As String, strDirname As String, strPathname As String, strDefpath As String" (or define them on multiple lines).

I think I was going to comment on something else, but it's late, and my brain is shutting down.

Edit - Note that in VBA, the code to tell a function what value to return is to assign the value to the function name, e.g., MakeDirectoryAsNeeded = strReturnValue

Edit - Added a line of code to clear the status bar just as the main procedure starts; replaced the code for MakeDirectoryAsNeeded, as it was faulty.
