Opening Embedded PDF File causes delay before opening again

[bisel]

Greetings,

With the help of users here on this forum, I have been able to use VBA to open an embedded file. Here is the code I am using for the macro ...

Sub getstarted()
    
' If any error resume next.  Need this in case user does not have the 32Bit or 64Bit version of Adobe Reader
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Sheet5.OLEObjects("getting_started").Verb Verb:=xlVerbOpen
    Sheet16.Select
    
' Use AppActivate to bring Acrobat Reader to the front, make sure to trap the error if user does not specific version of reader
    AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (64-bit)", True
    AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (32-bit)", True
    
On Error GoTo 0
    
End Sub

I have several embedded PDF files and I use the same code for each, changing only the PDF file name.

When I initiate the macro, the PDF file opens as expected. If I immediately close the file and try to open that same or initiate one of the other macros, there is no response. I must wait a few seconds before I can initiate that macro again.

Does anyone know what this delay is?

Regards,

Steve
