I appreciate this video! Great work. A suggestion would be to slightly alter the code so that instead of writing a new PDF file each time, that instead, you save the template with the patient-appt date file name. That way, the form-based PDF could be forwarded to the patient for them to fill in any blank fields, and more importantly, give them the ability to edit any fields that might have incorrect information. OOPS - I just read the comment from Ruth Block a few comments back - and your reply that answers this need!

Hi JG, Thanks so much. I was just thinking to redo this video next week but to add more 1) Start with a form that is not fillable, and also do it from scratch, starting with a blank worksheet. So it would go from: Static/Scanned in PDF > Fillable PDF with Fields > Automatically Add in Data from a table > Email, Print, Save the form All from scratch. What are your thoughts?

@ExcelForFreelancers
@ExcelForFreelancers 5 лет назад
Hi Deither, usually its the spacebar to check/uncheck or select/unselect these options. (you can try it with your keyboard on your pdf) You would then use an If Then statement within VBA to see if a check is necessary and if so use a space such as If sheet1.range("A1").value = True then Sendkeys " " Sendkeys "{TAB}" Else: Sendkeys "{TAB}" End If Perhaps something like that. I hope that helps and thanks.

You are a great teacher! Just wanted to point out that VBA doesn’t allow you to declare a group of variables to be a particular data type by separating the variables with commas. For example, though valid, the following statement does not declare all the variables as Integers: Dim i, j, k As Integer In this example, only k is declared to be an Integer; the other variables default to the Variant data type.

Hi thanks for your comment. You can have different fill macros based on a form. So You have a list of form names and next to that a list of macros assigned to that form. You can then assign a form name to each Customer (if that is your data type) then as you cycle through your customers, you would know the form name used, and therefore the macro to run.

@ExcelForFreelancers
@ExcelForFreelancers 3 года назад
Hi Helen, thanks so much for your message. In a PDF generally the space or spacebar is used to select a checkbox and a Tab is used to skip it. So you can add something like this If .Range("N" & CustRow).value = "Yes" then Application.SendKeys " ",True Else Application.SendKeys "{Tab}", True You can just adapt it for your workbook. I hope this helps and thanks so much.

Hi and thanks. Do not use the Open URL but instead use: ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="" & PDFTemplateFile & "" You can find this solution in the downloaded workbook as well. I hope this helps and thanks so much.

Another worthy tip for anyone interested, one of the reasons why SendKeys is discouraged is because with this methodology, it sends the keystroke to what's the active window, which can be disastrous for your macro. To that end, be sure that you enable focus on the application you are sending keys to.

hmm its a good question Sophie, I have not tried it, but perhaps it's possible. The way to know is this. Put away your mouse and see if you can add a picture with ONLY keyboard shortcuts. If it's possible, then write down all of the steps required, then write those steps in VBA using Sendkeys, and put in some Application.Wait lines to slow down the code as well. I hope this helps.

First, thanks for this very helpful video! Second, a question. I have customized what I need to and it runs perfectly, however I need it to save as a PDF (not print to PDF) because it is a fillable form that needs to remain fillable after being saved. I've adjusted the code to run a "Save as", and have gotten it to the point where the dialogue box opens and it needs to enter the file name, however, it does not change the filename from the template, so it does not go any further. Any ideas on how I can get that filename field to populate correctly?
@ExcelForFreelancers
@ExcelForFreelancers 2 года назад
Hi Ruth, thanks for your comment and question. For the PDF to remain a fillable form you will want to use the API associated with the PDF. You can try this training which includes fillable PDF's as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6fot1T_g1dM.html

As my new append page is different for each form, i am looking for something that will close form for each line and will open a new form for each line. I am using your code structure with some edits. I was able to append page for 1 line.

Hi i am so glad you liked the video. It's a great question you have. Assuming you were to hold down the Ctrl key and select various rows, then click the button, you could add some different code (instead of the existing For Next Loop) as well. Something like: Dim cel As Range Dim selectedRange As Range Dim SelRow as Long Set selectedRange = Application.Selection For Each cel In selectedRange.Cells SelRow = cel.Row 'The rest of the code here now you can use the "SelRow" Next cel

Thanks! It seems to be too early for me to ask you the question that I asked. Right now, I am stuck at putting your macro to my own excel and pdf form to use. I intended to only have a single text field to be filled for each procedure, just like your video. But I encountered a problem. There were multiple text fields being filled up by the same cell when I ran my VBA. It is like when you run your macro, the cell that shows the last name, would show up in the text fields of Last Name, First Name, State. The other text fields are not supposed to be filled as they should only be able to filled when macro ran the "Tab" procedure. Would you happen to know the solution of this problem? This could be a silly question as I have just started learning VBA. I hope I don't trouble you too much. Thanks again!

Hi Robert, thanks so much and I am glad you like it. Excel formats would not help in this case since it would only format the visible value in Excel. You would want to use the format in VBA right before it is added in a pdf using either of the following lines of code Format(YourString,"(###,###)") Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(YourString,"(###,###)") You would want to use an If/Then statement so only the values you want formatted are added to the PDF and you would want to add this to the SendKeys command.
