Macro Not Working
I followed along with creating an invoice that has a print to PDF button. When I run the macro, it flickers as if it is working, but no PDF is in the file. Here are screenshots that may help see the problem.

The whole code is not even visible in the pictures. If so, please show the whole code. Snipping photos are not always helpful, especially when it comes to VBA.
Nevertheless, here is a suggestion or attempt:
Sub PDF() Dim invoice_number As Long Dim customer_name As String Dim file_path As String Dim file_name As String ' Get values from cells invoice_number = Range("F5").Value customer_name = Range("A8").Value file_path = "C:\Users\magai\OneDrive\Desktop\Invoices\" ' Ensure the folder path ends with a backslash If Right(file_path, 1) <> "\" Then file_path = file_path & "\" ' Construct the full file name file_name = file_path & invoice_number & "_" & customer_name & ".pdf" ' Export the sheet as PDF On Error Resume Next ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=file_name, IgnorePrintAreas:=False If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox "Failed to save PDF. Please check the file path and try again.", vbExclamation Else MsgBox "PDF saved successfully at: " & file_name, vbInformation End If On Error GoTo 0 End SubEnsure that the OneDrive folder is synced to your local machine, the path provided (like in your macro) will work. If the OneDrive files are set to "online-only" and not synced locally, the macro might fail because it can't access the path.
I hope this could have helped you.
