Create PDF bookmarks Within Excel Workbook - excel

I'm attempting to build a monthly process that converts an excel file to a PDF with bookmarks for each respective sheet. I'm not seeing a method to successfully create PDF bookmarks from within the Excel workbook. Can this be accomplished without third-party software?
What I've tried:
Using Header 1 for a cell as well as an entire row.
Putting Excel Book Mark within the file using a hyperlink reference.
Adding named range.
OneDrive flow Convert File
Adding a Header.
Reviewed some VBA Ref libraries hoping to find an object.bookmark type approach.
Unfortunately, all attempts have resulted in a PDF file with no bookmarks.
Is there a method to create PDF Bookmarks from Excel? Possibly a VBA ref library that I am unaware of or some front-end trick? Unfortunately, I'm stuck working only with Microsoft tools. Adobe's Excel Add-On does exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

Is there a way you could pull from sharepoint using VBA?

I have coded a macro that takes data from current document (excel) to another document (Excel) from a specific file folder.
Now the company is moving to share point. Is there a way to do that?
Now my VBA code is in an excel that:
Opening different -file path- excel file.
Copying and pasting data from one excel to other excel.
Can I access share point for the specific file path?
I have tried
‘’’ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address= “link” ‘’’
But this will not allow me to continue in the macro since it does not open the excel in the app. Rather it opens the direct internet url hyperlink.
Yes you can access Sharepoint with a specific file path. If you sync the relevant Sharepoint folder, it will appear in your File Explorer and you can copy that file path to use in the VBA code.

Retrieve cell information from excel file in Sharepoint Online using VBA

In Excel I can read data from another cell in a closed spreadsheet that is on Sharepoint Online by using this formula.
='https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Site/Shared Documents/[Excel.xlsx]Sheet'!A1
It doesn't visibly open any workbooks files to get this information.
How do I get the data using VBA, say to set a string value. Every guidance I have seen involves Workbooks.open but I think it shouldn't be necessary to open the workbook?

Now I need to upload them to SharePoint so they can be used by everyone. But in the VBA code i need to tell where the WB is.
How can i do it?

Create dynamic link to embedded documents in Excel WITHOUT VBA

Firstly, I realise this problem could be solved with VBA, but I am looking to keep this workbook macro-free.
What I am trying to do is have several Excel workbooks embedded into my workbook (each embedded workbook is specific to a factory). I want to create a cell that acts as a dynamic hyperlink, which changes depending on which factory is filtered (I don't have any issues creating this dynamic hyperlink myself). The part I don't know how to do, is create a hyperlink that opens a document that is embedded within the workbook. I can make a hyperlink that opens a file saved in a directory, but I need to be able to share this workbook with multiple users, therefore I am embedding the documents.
Hopefully this makes sense - to summarise; I need to create a button/hyperlink that opens an embedded document WITHOUT VBA.
Many thanks
You have an EXCEL function HYPERLINK that receives a string (i.e. URL) as the first parameter. You can of course set BUILD the URL with a formula or a reference to other cell.
For instance, if you set in a cell the value:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com")
and link on it, Google's page will be open on your browser. If you set the link to point to a file (any file) it will open it with the suitable application (e.g. Excel).
Is this what you were looking for?

VBA / Macro - How to avoid importing Module for Every file [duplicate]

I have a report that I run from a system once a week, and the data is exported into an excel document. I have set up the tool that exports the data to excel to do a decent job on formatting, but there is still more that I need to do once the data is in excel.
Is it possible to create a stand alone macro, save it in a Microsoft office folder and be able to call it after I open this file? I have written plenty of macros that are part of ONE given spreadsheet, but never tried one that was open to many spreadsheets.
IS it possible, and a starting direction of good resources of where I can learn how to achieve this goal? Thank you.
...and be able to call it after I open this file?...
