Open PDF file and copy filepath and print pages VBA - excel

Question

I currently have a macro that loops through a list and finds PDF files based on keywords. The macro works as it should, but I would like to take it a bit further. The macro searches for the correct PDF based on the report number per item.
I would like to loop and:
Hyperlink the file in the column "M".
Check if the file was opened correctly and place the status in column "K"
Minimize all open PDF windows.
If possible, find the Item number within the PDF and it's corresponding page. Each page is also bookmarked with the item number so it could be searched that way as well. I would like to somehow print the correct pages.
There are hundreds of reports and it is a very tedious process. I also have Adobe Pro. I am open to all suggestions.
Current working code to find PDF based on wildcard:
`Sub Open_PDF()
Dim filePath As String, fileName As String, iName As String
Dim lrow As Long
Dim i As Long
lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 10).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 5 To lrow
iName = Cells(i, 10)
FileType = Range("FileType")
filePath = Range("B6")
fileName = Dir(filePath & iName & "*" & "." & FileType)
If fileName <> "" Then
openAnyFile filePath & fileName
End If
Next i
End Sub
Function openAnyFile(strPath As String)
Dim objShell As Object
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.Open (strPath)
End Function
`
I found the following codes, but could not understand how to get it to work.

I can partially help you:
Sub Open_PDF()
Dim filePath As String, fileName As String, iName, disptxt As String
Dim lrow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 10).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 5 To lrow
iName = Cells(i, 10)
FileType = Range("FileType")
filePath = Range("B6")
fileName = Dir(filePath & iName & "*" & "." & FileType)
If fileName <> "" Then
disptxt = filePath & iName ' whatever you want the hyperlink to show
ws.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ws.Range("M" & i), Address:=filePath & fileName, ScreenTip:="hover message", TextToDisplay:=disptxt
Range("K" & i) = "Success"
openAnyFile filePath & fileName
Else
Range("K" & i) = "Failed"
End If
Next i
End Sub
