Default Open pdf file selected from excel

I am using a code to select a folder, and then show the pdf files
Sub SelectPdfFile()
Dim fn As Variant
Dim i As String
i = InputBox("Enter Job Number", , "Job Number")

P = "C:\" & i & "\"
ChDrive P
ChDir P


fn = Application.GetOpenFilename("PDF Files,*.pdf", _
1, "Select Truss Picture", ,
False)
If TypeName(fn) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub ' no selection
Debug.Print "Selected file: " & fn
Workbooks.Open fn
End Sub
.............
Is there a way to open the selected pdf file from this location with
acrobat?
Or would it be better to insert the pdf as an object
something like this
------------
Sub SelectPdfFile()
Dim fn As Variant
Dim i As String
Dim p As String
i = InputBox("Enter Job Number", , "Job Number")

p = "C:\" & i & "\"
ChDrive p
ChDir p


fn = Application.GetOpenFilename("PDF Files,*.pdf", _
1, "Select Truss Picture", ,
False)
If TypeName(fn) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub ' no selection
Debug.Print "Selected file: " & fn
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(Filename:=p & fn & ".pdf", _
Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False).Select
End Sub
---------------------
Though I still can't get it to work,
