File association for inserted files.

[wilster98]

I have to open PDF files everyday that have been embedded in an Excel spreadsheet. In windows I have all my file associations set to open PDF's with Adobe Acrobat DC pro. However, when I open the embedded files Excel, they open in Acrobat reader. I cannot find where I can associate files opened in Excel to an application. How do I go about changing the file association within Excel? I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, but then I couldn't open PDF's at all. I am running Excel 2010 on Windows 7.

Thanks
Willy

Found this suggestion on Google:

Right-click on the PDF icon in the Excel spreadsheet
Packager Shell Object Object
Properties
General
Look at the "Opens with"

If it's Adobe Reader, click the Change button
