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?

Word 2013 cannot open embedded .docx files

I am running Word 2013 64-bit as part of an Office 365 ProPlus install. I am unable to open any embedded .docx files. Double clicking launches the message "The server application, source file, or item cannot be found." Single clicking displays
the message "Double-click to edit Unknown".
I can open other embedded file types: doc, xls, xlsm. Embedded Outlook email files will open, but now display as OLE objects. Also the icon for embedded files now usually appears as the 'box with contents'.
Opening files directly in Word works correctly, the problem is limited to opening embedded docx files.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...thanks. -JAmsUser

Hi,
“I am unable to open any embedded .docx files” - I would like to confirm that whether these files are new created or existing files which might be created in an earlier version of Office.
The error indicates that the connection between the embedded documents and the Office application has been broken. So what if you remove and re-embed it into the document? Embed it again might pick up the new mechanisms.
I'd also suggest you run an Online Repair and see if it helps:

It's recommended to download and install

Linked .pdf files within master .pdf file won't open

I have an 80+ page manual that I created in WordPerfect 12. It contains 550+ links to .pdf files that I have in the same sub-directory. Everything works fine when I use the master manual in its native WordPerfect format. However, when I publish the WordPerfect master document to .pdf format, the linked files will no longer open in Adobe Reader 9. Instead of opening the Reader program, it now tries to open my browser (Firefox) and open the file as an URL. This results in a error message. I would really like to distribute my manual as a .pdf file instead of WordPerfect file. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Could you let me know which version of Adobe Reader 9 are you using? You can try updating to the latest version ie 9.4.2 by doing a Help > Check for Updates.
That should fix the issue.
Alternatively, you could even download Adobe Reader X from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to open a popup win within a PDF file (c:\test.pdf) as Column Link

I have a interactive report based on a Table (EMP). I need to create a column link that opens a pdf file within the employee curricula
All the curriculum are stored in a windows folder, and in the EMP table there is a field named PATH containing the full path name.
Thxs,
Giuseppe.

Hello, Sebastian
I've tested your suggestion and in effect it works.
I think is good solution if the files are readonly (pdf, images, etc).
In my case the files are updatable by the end user.
Consider that I'm using the following configuration:
APEX 4.0, DB 11.2.0.1 and EPG
This means that:
a. All the files need to be loaded in the XML_DB via PL/SQL or via WebDAV (let's say in... /i/mydocs)
b. When the end user opens the file via the "Column link" this is read-only in the browser, to modify it, the end user need to save updated version in (/i/mydocs), replacing the existing ones, .. and this is a bit complicated .
Any other suggestion will be appreciate.
Regards,
Giuseppe.

Cannot view PDF files within Safari 6.0.1

I have lost the ability to view PDF files within the safari web browser. When I press on a link to a PDF file a blank/black screen will appear. If I right click on the page I have the ability to Save the PDF file and then I can open it in preview.
I also have AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin installed in ~Library/Internet Plug ins/ ... folder.
I have tried deleting these files and restarting Safari but nothing seems to be working. I have tried installing the PDF Browser plugin form Schubert to no avail
Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I get the ability to view PDF files in Safari using Moutain Lios OSX?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Can open .pdf files in Chrome but cannot open the same file after saving it.

Thanks Pat. Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped. Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well. Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC. When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash. I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE). Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read. I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented. Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process. I do not look to see what the updates have been. I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

Adobe Reader plugin :This sentence "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

This sentence (in french version) "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all, mainly bigger than 1Mo) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2). I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine. As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
Create a link using the Link tool
Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
Select one of the following link actions:
Go To A Page View
Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
Open A File
Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK.
Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
       Open A Web Page
                 Provide the URL of the destination web page.
       Custom Link
                 Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.

I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc.

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.
Small Town Gal.

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

Viewing PDF files within your browser

Ever since I updated to a newer version of the reader (about a week ago), every time I try to access a pdf file within my browser (Firefox), I get the message "The version of Acrobar Reader currently running cannot view PDF files within your browser..." Does anyone have a fix?

I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 last night and started having the same exact problem. This morning I went to START and using the "Start Search" feature box typed in "Adobe" because I wanted to see if I still had any older Adobe Acrobat Reader files on my computer that were competing with 9.3. As soon as I typed "Adobe" and clicked on the magnifying glass (or just hit "enter") I received a message that Windows was initializing Adobe Acrobat 9.3. After it finished initializing everything worked perfectly. The problem appears to be that Windows is not initializing the download automatically upon restart. Maybe my fix was a fluke, but it is working fine now.

Hi,
Is it a Flash or AIR app?
If it's an AIR app, then use the HTML/web, where you then can navigate to the URL of your PDF.
If it's an Flash app, then set the wmode to transparent: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html#main_Using_Window_Mode__wmode__values_
And then create an iframe in your HTML page, where you load you PDF, set the iframe z-index, so it gets shown on top of the Flash object. Then you kan use the javascript bridge to interact with the iframe.
Best regards
Martin

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.
