Hi all Does anyone know the code required to open a pdf in a read only format (even though the original file is not read only). The file I am trying to open is located in the following directory... I wanted to try and keep it simple by using the ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink method followed by ReadOnly:=True but this doesnt work. Any ideas?

Hi all

Does anyone know the code required to open a pdf in a read only format (even though the original file is not read only). The file I am trying to open is located in the following directory...

<\\Investment\Daily Updates\Daily Snapshot\Daily Snapshot.pdf>

I wanted to try and keep it simple by using the ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink method followed by ReadOnly:=True but this doesnt work.

Any ideas?
