Did they also send you the Excel file? Is it located in the same (relative) position to the PDF when the link was created?

Then of course it can't work... A better approach is to embed the other file in the PDF, and then linked to it (using a script). That way you only need to share one file, and it will work on other machines as-is (assuming it's opened in Adobe software).
