Cannot open embedded PDF in word 2003

When I embed a PDF into a word document I get the following error when I try to open it.
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found
When I send this document to others they can open the PDF
Any suggections?

I am assuming you are using RoboHelp for Word. If so, you cannot embed files into your word source documents. Instead add the pdf as a baggage file, then on the word source add a link to the pdf file. After you compile the file, the user looking at help will click the link to open the pdf. If you are distributing the help on a server, make sure you include the pdf file. The server you place the pdf file on must also have a pdf viewer configured.

  • 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?

  • Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

    When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
    I had no problems with AR v9.
    Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

    Sure.
    In Reader X:
    Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"

  • Can't open embedded PDF from Excel

    Our company recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Reader XI. Now we cannot open embedded PDF files from Excel. I am using Excel 2010, but I believe this is an issue for all versions. I get a repeated pop-up error message "Microsoft Office Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action". It appears the only way to stop the pop-ups is to stop all Acrobat instances from Task Manager. In Reader X, we had to uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" to be able to open embedded PDF files. I have had mixed results adjusting this and the "Enable Enhanced Security" setting in Reader XI. What is the right solution to this?

    What have you tried?  Ifmyou just tought the attachment, it will open in sort of a quick view mode.  For all of the file types you mentioned.  If you touch and hold, a small window will open and suggest other apps, if you have any loaded, that will also work with those file types.
    So what happens when you tap an attachment?

  • Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

    I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
    Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

    Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.
    Best regards,

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • Cannot Open a PDF File Created in Acrobat 9.0

    My associates cannot open a PDF that I have created from Word 2007 using Acrobat 9.0 if I save the PDF to our network. They can open the PDF if I email the file to them as an attachment. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    It may depend on how you transfer the PDF to the network. Saving to a network seems to have mixed results with Acrobat and always has. Try saving locally and copying to the network drive. If you are transferring the file with FTP, be sure that you use binary file transfer.

  • Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003.  I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt.  This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself.  If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
    Is the problem that I am using Word 2003?  Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
    Any ideas???

    Something to try -
    Export the PDF to RTF.
    Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
    Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
    Open this file with MS Word.
    Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
    It is an output of Ghostscript.
    Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
    A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
    Be well...

  • Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

    Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • Cannot open a PDF within IE9 on Windows 7

    Hello,
    I am experiencing an Adobe Reader 10.1 issue with computers running Windows 7 32 bit with IE9. When the user goes to a SharePoint page and tries to open a PDF we see the following error:
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)".
    There is no other instance of Adobe Reader running. The user accounts that log in are domain user accounts and have user level security access. They can open PDF files that are stored locally on the hard drive but they cannot open any PDF that is listed on a SharePoint page and only see the error message stated above.
    I have been looking at different forums. I have tried the suggested fixes but none of them have worked.
    I have tried the following things but they did not work:
    Repaired\Reinstalled Adobe Reader
    Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" setting
    Made sure "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" was unchecked
    Run the SharePoint page in compatability view
    On one of the Windows 7 computers I created a local user account. Added it to the local Users group. Logged in and launched IE9 and navigated to the SharePoint page. I clicked on a PDF link and received the same error as stated above. I then moved this new local user account to the Power Users group and performed the same test with the same results. I moved this local user account to the Administrators group and now I am able to view PDF files within the IE9 browser. I tried this with other administrator accounts and all works fine. So it appears to be a security rights issue. I looked at the GPO's and did not notice anything that would cause this issue. Of course, I am not a AD guru so I might have missed something.
    I have loosened security rights on several Adobe directories but that did not work.
    I need to have domain users with user level security access to be able to view PDFs in the IE9 browser. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
    the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
    I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
    How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
    Appreciate your quick response.

  • Can I open embedded PDF documents in a PDF file on an iPad or Android?

    Not sure if first post got through, the forum required me to change password ...
    So I'm trying to open embedded PDF documents in a "parent" PDF document on an iPad. 
    On a PC the file opens fine.
    On an iPad 2 with Adobe's Reader the same file says it's corrupted.
    On PDF Pro the file opens, I can see the listing of embedded PDF documents but when I click on them nothing happens.
    Is there a way for a PDF file with embedded hyperlinked PDF documents to be displayed on an iPad or Android?

    pages on the iOS has access only to the camera roll to embedd pictures , but no external files.
    Content from other documents like pdf can be copied and pasted by using Adobe Reader for iOS or the iBooks.app, open the pdf , copy text , then go to pages.app and paste text into the document there.
