Hey,

I'm using this VBA code in order to open a pdf as well as the folder the file is located.


VBA Code:
Function OpenPDFPage(PDFPath As String, PageNumber As Long, PageView As Integer)
    
    ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink PDFPath, NewWindow:=True
    
End Function

Sub Open_Pdf()
    On Error Resume Next
    OpenPDFPage "C:\Temp\Article.pdf", 115, 2
    'Page view options:
    '0: Full Page
    '1: Zoom to 100%
    '2: Page Width
    Call Shell("explorer.exe" & " " & "C:\Temp", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub


How can I change the code so when the file is opened, the bookmarks panel will be opend as well / already displayed.
In another words, I want the atricle.pdf file to open together with bookmarks without pressing the arrow button
