I am having a problem with Adobe and MS-EXCEL. I have hyperlinks to PDF files from EXCEL. The links work fine, Adobe opens then quickly closes without display the file contents. I can open the PDF files directly using Adobe Reader directly.
Please help!

Named Destinations add a lot of overhead to your file size. Acrobat viewers 7 and above are intelligent and automatically recognize URL and email text without creating links.
Create the links after the Excel file is converted to PDF.
