I use Ron de Bruin's excellent code to e-mail out Excel sheets as a
PDF. I've recently added Charts to these Excel sheet and I'm finding
they are not appearing on the PDF sheet and I can't figure it out.
I've ranged the Area to include the Chart, it produces 2 pages but
where the chart should be on the 2nd page, its blank. Any ideas?

Sub Mail_Area1()
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim Sourcewb As Workbook
Dim Destwb As Workbook
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim strbody As String
Dim FilenameStr As String
Dim TempWb As Workbook

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)


Set Sourcewb = ActiveWorkbook

If Dir(Environ("commonprogramfiles") & "\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE"
_
& Format(Val(Application.Version), "00") & "\EXP_PDF.DLL") <>
"" Then

Sourcewb.Sheets(Array("AM1")).Copy
Set TempWb = ActiveWorkbook


'Change all cells in the worksheets to values if you want
With TempWb.Sheets(1).UsedRange
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Cells(1).Select
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False

For Each cell In TempWb.Sheets("AM1") _
.Columns("BJ").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" Then
strto = strto & cell.Value & ";"
End If
Next
strto = Left(strto, Len(strto) - 1)

FilenameStr = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\" & "Part of " &
Sourcewb.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm") & ".pdf"

For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.Sheets("AM1").Range("BV1:BV15")

Kill FilenameStr

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

Else

MsgBox "PDF add-in Not Installed"
End If

End Sub
 
Maybe you should consider using a PDF printer instead of a AddIn
for example you could use CutePDF writter ... I think is gratis ...
And then change your macro to print your range and your objects
for me it just works great...

Well, luck.
