Export Separate Sheets from a Drawing to PDF

Hi all

I'm looking for a way to print my first 2 sheets " TOGETHER " and " CABLING " in pdf and then my 3rd sheet " FLAN AV " on another pdf, these must be saved in the drawing folder, the first pdf will have the name of the drawing e.g. P615PL702700 and the second will have the same but instead of the last character (here a 0) we will have a 1.

I managed to get all the sheets out on two separate pdfs but each time I have the 3 sheets and not 2 + 1.

Thanks in advance

Hello:
To combine existing PDF files or when printing I use PDF_Redirect...
See:

I see but the goal here is to create a macro in order to make this recording faster and repeatable over about 200 files, I want to make a macro button that saves everything.

I approach the desired result with this code:

Option Explicit

    Dim swApp               As SldWorks.SldWorks
    Dim swModel             As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
    Dim swModelDocExt       As SldWorks.ModelDocExtension
    Dim swExportPDFData     As SldWorks.ExportPdfData
    Dim boolstatus          As Boolean
    Dim Filename            As String
    Dim lErrors             As Long
    Dim lWarnings           As Long
    Dim strSheetName()     As String
    Dim varSheetName        As Variant

    '
     Dim swDraw                  As SldWorks.DrawingDoc
     Dim vSheetNames             As Variant
     '
Dim Part As Object
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long
Dim File As String

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
' ajout controle du bon fichier
If Part Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Aucun fichier n'est actuellement ouvert."
    Exit Sub ' If no model is currently loaded, then exit
End If
' Determine the document type. If the document is a drawing, then send a message to the user.
If (Part.GetType <> 3) Then '1Part 2Assembly 3Document
    MsgBox "Cette macro ne s'applique que sur une mise en plan"
    Exit Sub
End If
File = Part.GetPathName
If File = "" Then
    MsgBox "Cette macro necessite que le fichier soit préalablement enregistré"
    Exit Sub
End If
Dim Filepath As String
Dim Filename As String
Filepath = Left(File, InStrRev(File, "\"))
Filename = Mid(File, Len(Filepath) + 1, Len(File) - (7 + Len(Filepath)))
    Set swModelDocExt = Part.Extension
    Set swExportPDFData = swApp.GetExportFileData(1)
    Set swDraw = Part
    vSheetNames = swDraw.GetSheetNames


 If swExportPDFData Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Nothing"

    boolstatus = swExportPDFData.SetSheets(swExportData_ExportSpecifiedSheets, vSheetNames(0))
    swExportPDFData.ViewPdfAfterSaving = True
    boolstatus = swModelDocExt.SaveAs(Filepath & "\" & Filename & ".PDF", 0, 0, swExportPDFData, lErrors, lWarnings)

End Sub

here on the other hand it only saves me the sheet (0) the first one

Well, if we don't have all the data in the statement, it's not easy to meet your expectations correctly...
but a work path is available on the Solidworks website (the Forum):

End Sub

As much for me, I thought I had been clear when I asked.

I finally managed to find a solution after merging several codes found.
