Sorry if I'm missing something I'm new in this and I'm editing an old script made by someone else.

VBA Code: 
Sub dd()

Dim sFilePath As String
Dim sFilename As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFilename_1 As String

sFilePath = ThisWorkbook.path
sFilename = Dir(sFilePath & "\*.pdf")

If Len(sFilename) = 0 Then
    ' Open the select folder prompt
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        If .Show = -1 Then ' if OK is pressed
            sFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
        End If
    End With
sFilename_1 = Dir(sFolder & "\*.pdf")
    If Len(sFilename_1) = 0 Then
    MsgBox "No pdf files are available"
    Exit Sub
    End If

Do While Len(sFilename_1) > 0

Application.DisplayAlerts = False


ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink sFolder & "\" & sFilename_1, NewWindow:=True

If you are looking to save time, then use Power Query
On the data tab, select Get and Transform, Get Data-->From file==>From PDF then on the PQ Editor Ribbon click on Close and Load
