Embed Multiple PDF's at once

I searched but couldn't find a relative topic.

Is there an easy way to embed multiple objects at once? I have roughly 60 pdfs I'd like to embed in an excel document, and really don't look forward to doing it manually.

Any help would be appreciated.

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Try this macro, after changing the matchPDFfiles string to the folder location of the PDF files and wildcard file name.
VBA Code:
Public Sub Embed_PDFs()
    
    Dim matchPDFfiles As String
    Dim PDFsFolder As String, PDFfileName As String
    Dim destCell As Range
    
    matchPDFfiles = "C:\path\to\PDFs\*.pdf"   'CHANGE THIS - folder containing the PDFs and wildcard file name
        
    With ActiveSheet
        Set destCell = .Range("B2")
    End With
        
    'Loop through matching PDFs and insert as objects
    
    PDFsFolder = Left(matchPDFfiles, InStrRev(matchPDFfiles, "\"))
    PDFfileName = Dir(matchPDFfiles)
    While PDFfileName <> vbNullString
        destCell.Select
        ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add Filename:=PDFsFolder & PDFfileName, Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
        Set destCell = destCell.Offset(4)
        PDFfileName = Dir()
    Wend
    
End Sub
