Open pdf without converting
 

How do I get a click to open a pdf file without trying to
convert it to Excel?
I use:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
to open Excel files...what do I use to open a pdf?

Here's a reply to the same question from Jake Marx.

You could use the Shell command in VBA, but this runs the risk of the user
not having the same version of a pdf viewer installed as you reference, or
preferably the ShellExecute API call which launches whatever the the default
pdf viewer is.

To get the name of the file you want to open, use
Application.GetOpenFilename
