I am trying to make an excel (2010) macro that can navigate a pdf.

I want it to do the following:
-open the pdf
-navigate to a specific page.
-navigate to a different page.
-close the pdf.

The reason for navigating is not important. I am mostly looking for information about how to open, navigate and close the pdf.

I have got the pdf to open to a specific page by different means (Shell, IE.Navigate). But i cant get it to move to a different location in the pdf without having to close and reopen the pdf, which is slow.

If possible, provide simple vba code for:
-how to open the pdf
-how to navigate through the pdf from location to location.
-how to close the pdf
A simple hardcoded example would be appeciated.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
