How do I export a PDF from Excel (on mac 2015) on a Mac using VBA?

It depends on your level of proficiency with Excel, but Excel for Mac is just fine. I was a power user on PC and now am a power user on Mac. It took me just a few weeks to internalize it all. For basic operations like simple formulas, sorting, and perhaps pivot tables on small data sets, with regular point-and-click functionality (i.e, using your mouse rather than shortcuts), you'll be perfectly fine. Excel on Mac is not much different from PC. If you are a power user, however, the transition will be more painful ... but don't believe the naysayers. Almost all the features are there (mostly). All the formulas are there. The shortcut keys are definitely different but t're equally learnable. In a matter of days t will become just as "intuitive" as t were in PC (intuitive in quotes because I don't believe any shortcut is inherently intuitive). F4 becomes Cmd+T ... your fingers and brain will quickly get used to it. The real problem with Excel for Mac is its astounding ability to crash. It's really good at this. In fact it's the only software on my Mac that crashes. This is especially true as your spreadsheets become more complex (larger datasets, complex formulas and the like).

PDF documents can be cumbersome to edit, especially when you need to change the text or sign a form. However, working with PDFs is made beyond-easy and highly productive with the right tool.

How to Export PDF with minimal effort on your side:

Export PDF: All You Need to Know

As for my VBA stuff, it works great, and if you’ve got the VBA programming community here and a bit of time you could work something out. If not, would have to buy out the entire enterprise (which I wouldn’t do without looking up the market, it just isn’t what I want to do right now). All this stuff is just going to be hard. You have to know how to use VBA to have any hope of it not being a nightmare.
