Unable to open up a xlsm file from url within PDF

We have recently updated our Adobe Reader to the below version.

After doing this we have found urls that redirect to an xslm file wont open and display a message could not open the file.

I have had a little look online and i believe the fix is to revert back to an old version of Adobe Reader.

Is there anything else we can do to fix this issue so we dont have to revert back.

I would be very grateful if you can advise.

Thanks

FYI - if i downgrade my Adobe Reader to version 11.0.0 - XI.

I am able to open up the xlsm file from a hyperlink pointing to a location locally within a pdf file.

You're opening the file in another application (Excel). That should be possible from any version of Reader, but not within Reader itself.

its a hyperlink to an xlsm file through a pdf document.

Acrobat Reader could never open non-PDF files. How did you link?

You suggest it used to work. What happened before?

Is this a link to a local file, https or http URL?
