Opening embedded PDFs in Excel 2016

[avarner]

I have embedded several PDFs into an Excel spreadsheet using the process detailed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btzTt8whcL4
When I try to open them (either by double clicking or by selecting Adobe Acrobat Object -> Open) nothing happens.
I'm using MS Excel 2016, and Acrobat Reader DC.

Worth checking PDFs open on outside of embedding
If this fails, check the Default PDF Viewer and make sure AR DC is default

That file association, to PDF = AR DC

If you have added the icon (object) and browsed for the PDF and save the workbook, things should be ok
