I'm having a problem with a specific excel file and opening a PDF in it. It gives a "cannot start the source application error" when I try to open it. The excel file itself is part of a OneNote file as well. It does, however, open if I leave Acrobat open beforehand. It just won't open it if it has to start up the program through Excel.

I can open other PDFs that are embedded in other Excel files on the problem computer. I'm honestly kind of stuck on what to do. We use Office 2010 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I know it's not the file itself, as several other computers can open that shared Excel file and the embedded PDFs.

Any help on getting PDF to open would be appreciated. I've already tried to do that unchecking Enable protected, as it was unchecked already.
