Converting Excel Spreadsheet with links to other PDF Files

I created an Excel sheet with links to PDF folders. Then I converted the Excel sheet to a separate PDF file that I will allow the users to look at.
 
I can successfully click my link in the PDF version and see my other PDF files just fine. The problem is there's no way to get back to the PDF version of my Excel sheet where I just clicked the link. I don't want to link in PDF manually as my Excel Spreadsheet will change.
 
How can I tell the PDF version of my Excel sheet to open the links to other PDF files into a new window so when the window is closed, I'm back where I clicked the link.
 
WHEW! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Magster,

Opening PDF files in another window is a Preference in Acrobat. Edit --> Preferences --> DocumentDe-select the Open Cross-document Links In Same Window. This opens a new window each time you click a link to a different document.

Hope this helps,
Lori
