Can I embed a PDF file within a Pages document?

I am working with Pages '09 and would like to embed a rather long PDF document file into my Pages text. I want the reader to be able to click on the PDF file and have it open so that the reader can gather more information on the subject without making the actual Pages document text any longer. I don't want the PDF file to be an external link that sends the reader away from the document -- I want to know if I can embed the PDF file WITHIN the pages document and have it open only when clicked. I don't think I can do this. Thanks.

I found my answer within archived discussions - convert the file to a PDF and then embed the PDF file as an attachment. Thanks.

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

You want to insert a PDF into a Word doc, or you want to convert it? Either way, Adobe Reader cannot do any of these.

You can extract the text In Preview .app from a PDF file and Copy/Paste it into Pages.
Acrobat Pro can convert a .pdf into a Word .doc which you can then open in Pages, but it is quite a slow process, depending how large the .pdf is.
PDFs are not necessarily composed of text and images, they may only be images and any text they have is not actually freeflowing text. It takes a degree of programming trickery to work out what text fits where, especially if it is columns. You need to review it after to check it is what you expected.
If all you want is to see the pdf/s in Pages just drag it in, it is just an image. If it has multiple pages, then open it in Preview and copy over the thumbnails.

How can I change a PDF file into a Word Document

Regretfully, I am Disabled and unable to watch a Tutorial video online. So, I must use this venue to ask a simply question...Is there a way to make a PDF file into a Word Document? OR, how can I type info into a PDF file? Either answer would help me IMMENSELY!
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Using your Adobe ID, I believe you have one free trial on ExportPDF.
Also, Acrobat is available as a fully functional 30-day trial.

Why can I not create pdf files from MS Word documents?

I'm using Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.5), and Microsoft Word 2007: I've noticed just recently that, whenever I try to create a pdf file - from within Microsoft Word - I get a message: Word has stopped working".... and then the word program crashes. Then I get a message that says the adobe add-in isn't working and recommends that I disable it. This is extremely frustrating! I've tried going into Acrobat directly to create the pdf, to no avail. I've tried utilizing the "Repair Acrobat Installation" and that doesn't seem to work either.
The only thing I've noticed which might have caused this problem is I just recently updated Adobe Reader - is there some "conflict" going on between having these two Adobe products installed on the same Computer?

How can I Split the PDF File into different pages?

Hi,
My requirment is to split the pdf file , which is obtained by using FM "convert_otf" , into seperate PDF file for each employee data(PERNR).
Please suggest me the way to slipt the PDF file that has to be downloaded into the presentation server.

Hi,
Ok, looking at that programm didn't actually help me very much to understand what's going on, or where you have the CONVERT_OTF call... Regardless, if the suggestion by Raymond is not feasible in your scenario, the thing I'd try to do is - splitting the spool (OTF) contents before calling CONVERT_OTF into individual documents (feeding it to convert FM piecemeal)... The link to OTF format and commands documentation is here.
Again, it's difficult to give a good algorithm without knowing the exact OTF contents (could you perhaps somehow export the display of spool in RAW format and attach here?) but it would boil down to approximately following:
1) set the &first_page per PERNR = 1;
2) run through OTF lines until the &end_page for PERNR has been identified somehow (hopefully there are Begin/End Form OTF commands '//' in that spool... and they correspond to the split of spool you need...);
3) extract the otf contents from &first_page to the EP command of &end_page into separate OTF itab and, if necessary, add // (End of form) command at the end of itab;
4) call CONVERT_OTF on the table and download;
5) set the &first_page per PERNR = &end page + 1;
6) repeat from 2) until end of spool OTF data
Something like that... Depending how the Sapscript translates into OTF, you may also need to prepend a few commands found at the very beginning of the spool to each extracted invividual OTF document...
I Hope you can get the gist of what I'm suggesting... splitting OTF is definetly easier than trying to split PDF, I feel. It's not ideal solution, because - what if the structure of OTF contents you would be realying on changes for some reason..?
cheers

Since upgrading to FF 7.0.1 I can no longer view .pdf files from web pages and there is no plug in..

The .pdf viewer plug in for FF3.6 worked fine but upgrading to FF7.0.1 has caused the problem. There are no such plugins for this version. I must go back to FF3.6 with the plugin and then if one for FF7.0.1 doesn;t exist by the time Mozilla stops supporting 3.6 I will go back to Safari as my browser I guess.

I already reinstalled the Adobe's and it didn't solve anything. What I did find is that when faced with a pdf I want to view, I have to right click "Save Link As..." and then I can view the resultant pdf. Cumbersome perhaps but I guess it works.
Thanks though for the snotty tone in your response; indeed I realize its not FF's job to ensure my machine is updated. However I'm a business guy not an IT guy and my guess is the business guys at Mozilla would want to be aware of things that would impact the use of their product. And if moving forward with new iterations and updated versions of their product changed the users experience in a negative fashion, however caused, I'm sure they would want to consider what actions they may or may not want to take.
Furthermore its unfortunate that you mistakenly interpreted my words to mean that I expected them to rectify the issue for me. I simply stated that currently it doesn't work for me and if that doesn't change, I would have to move in a different direction. Simple as that. It's not a big deal.
So perhaps your typical IT guy "users are so dumb" mantra was misplaced here.

How can I convert a pdf file containing a scanned document?

I tried (and paid for) Adobe ExportPdf. It did not work. I get a Word-Document containing huge images. Useless.

Hello and sorry for the long delay in answering.
I have tested several pdf files that only contain scanned images.
I always selected the correct language for text recognition.
The first I tried was a Spanish document with 13 pages, converting to *.doc. The original had 3162 kB, the newly created Word document has 11836 kB. It contains only images, every page in the PDF document is an image.
Then I did a German document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
Same for a Spanish document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
Then I tried a again Spanish document with 18 pages, converting to *.docx. I took about 10 minutes due to my slow Internet connection. The original has 3807kB, the converted file 6559 kB. The opened converted docx-file is almost empty.
Is it possible that multiple page documents do no work?
Would you like to have a look at these documents yourself?
Thank you and best regards, AlMarsad2013

Can i embed a file in my pages document

Hi there,
I'm providing links to my work in a pages doc. For work that has no website, I wanted to embed a pdf file within Pages. So that you'd click on an "internal" link and the pdf would open. If not pdf, I can always use a jpg. Is this doable? If so, can anyone share the steps?
Thanks.

Closest you'd get is to put it on a webpage and link to the URL, or to drag the .pdf of the page into a page in Pages.
Pages is not a presentation package with interactivity, for that look to Keynote or make the entire document into a .pdf and make all the effects and links in that.

Cannot open embedded PDF files within a PDF

Is there a way to open a PDF file (by double clicking) that is within a PDF file? The file was created in Word 2007 by inserted the pdf file as an object. I am using Acrobat Professional 9.

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

Icon issues when embed pdf file into a word document

I recently updated my Acrobat Reader on my laptop with windows 2010 and no every time I need to embed a PDF file into a word document the ICON for the pdf file is not correct, I have to browse manually everytime and it is becoming very time consuming, specially when you need to embed large amount of documents.
This problem it only happens with PDF files, I uninstalled office and the adobe acrobat reader and the problem continues, according to Microsoft support the problem is not word but the Adobe Reader, I do not know what to do since I tried everything on the internet.
It looks to me that somehow when I updated my reader the link between the Reader and Office is broken and office is not correctly linked to the right folder were the PDF reader Icon is located.

You can rebuild the icon database on your windows Vista/Windows 7 system by doing this:
1) rename the hidden file named IconCache.db to IconCache-old.db. this file is hidden so you may need to unhide it. the file is in your profile folder <%userprofile%\AppData\Local> %userprofile% represents the path to user profile folder.
Now Close all folder windows that are currently open and follow these steps.
1. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
2. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
3. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
4. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
5. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
Hope this helps and let us know if it worked or not. If this doesn't work then File Association may be another method to try.
Good luck.

Can I create a new document with a locked PDF file, add new pages, and lock it all again?

I published a PDF document ten years ago and now want to add Creative Commons licensing language to the copyright page. But I forgot the password! I gather from the Forum that there is no way to recover the password. However, I wonder if I can take the locked PDF file, create a new document (adding a new page for the licensing information), then lock the whole thing up again. Will this work? Thanks for your help!

To create an unprotected file you would need the password.
