Send automatic email as PDF attachement from data in excel
I have several sheets (sheet1, sheet2; sheet3, etc.).
I want to send the content of these sheets to different email addresses. For example
sheet1 to mailto:email1@email.email
sheet2 to mailto:email2@email.email
sheet3 to mailto:email3@email.email
etc...
Any help ?
chamseddine_hamdeni You can try below codes to send individual sheets to separate emails. To understand codes better, I have divided it into 3 parts.
- Generate PDF files to insert to email as attachment. You can give sheet names to Split("Sheet1|Sheet2|Sheet3", "|") this array which you want to generate PDF files.
- Send Emails. This will iterate each cells from A2 to downward and send emails to each cell value with attachment from this Split("Sheet1|Sheet2|Sheet3", "|") list of sheets. In this part of codes you can use .Send instead of .Display to send mail directly without displaying it. Testing purpose I have used .Display so that we can check it is generating emails correctly. To Send mails directly without any warning to must enable Programmatic Access to Outlook. Read below articles to enable it. Link 1: slipstick.com , Link 2 , Microsoft Documentation
- Delete PDFs after sending mails (If anyone wish). Sample file is attached herewith.
Option Explicit 'Generate PDFs for each listed sheet.

Thank you Harun24HR so much for your help... it is so much appreciated.
The PDF are successfully generated (although I don't know where are they stored, but no problem).
However, do I have to send them manually ?
please check the screenshot attached.

chamseddine_hamdeni PDFs are stored in same folder where you keep the excel file (you can keep it to any location of hard disk or desktop or document folder). In vba code just delete .Display and write .Send, read codes comments carefully. Also if it helps then tick mark the answer.
