Opening PDF in Acrobat READER DC via VBA in Excel

[JcOrando]

I have a list of PDF files in MS Excel.  I want to open & then close the files in Acrobat Reader.
I do Not want to edit the files, only Open & Close.
I have the VBA Reference: "Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library" selected.
I should be able to use Early Binding.

Could someone fill in the missing code so I can use Acrobat Reader.

Thank you in advance.  I've spent hours trying to figure this out!

Sub TestFilesPDF()Dim sFile As String
Dim sFile as string
'Early Binding
Dim PDFApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp   'Acrobat Reader HELP
Dim PDFDoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc 'Acrobat Reader HELP

'Note: 
'dllFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.dll"
'exeFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    
    
    'Uses Early Binding to open Acrobat Reader
    Set PDFApp = "" '<< Help
    Set PDFDoc = "" '<< Help

    With wsFileList
		sFile = .Cells(2, 3).Value
		
        'Open File
        PDFDoc.Open sFile, vbNormalFocus
        
        'Close File
        PDFDoc.Close
        
    End With 'wsFileList
    
    'Release memory
    AcroApp.Exit
    Set AcroDoc = Nothing
    Set AcroApp = Nothing 
End Sub

I would be happy to use a Late Binding solution!

I do not want to use FollowHyperlink

Thank you,

On Windows you can try the DDE-Interface.

The IAC does not work with Reader

Could you please give an Excel VBA example of the best way to output a PDF file and then open it in Acrobat Reader DC?

Thanks!
