Embedding a PDF file into PowerPoint 2010, clickable in SlideShow mode

If you embed a PDF file into PowerPoint slide by both draging and dropping or instering it as an object, only the first page of the PDF is embedded as a picture or you can change it to a PDF icon.
When in design mode, the embedded PDF is clickable and is opened in Adobe Reader (either from the PowerPoint slide if directly insterted or from its physical path if linked depending on the configuration).
But in slide show mode, the picture or the icon is not clickable.
The only workaround is to assign a hyperlink to the picture or the icon (the insterted object).
Is there any other way in opening a PDF file from PowerPoint Slide Show without assigning a hyperlink ??

Hi,
Assign a hyperlink is the only way to accomplish Open file (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx) from PowerPoint Slide Show.
From PowerPoint slide show, it only identify the file with hyperlink.
Best Regards.

  • Unable to insert or drag and drop PDF file into PowerPoint 2010

    Hi all.  I am trying to drag and drop a PDF file into a power point file (PowerPoint 2010).  However, power point responded with the error "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.  You
    may need to reinstall the server application".  I also tried to use the Insert feature "Insert --> Object --> Choose from file", yet also getting this same error message. This is what I've tried:
    a) I've tried to disabled the Adobe Protected Mode on Adobe Acrobat Reader 11, yet no luck. 
    b) Also tried on a machine got Adobe Reader 9 installed, still getting the same error message
    c) Tried to register the OLE library, no luck
    I haven't tried to re-install Office 2010.  It looks like this is a Office 2010 issue, have any one of you encountered this issue and is there a solution for it?  Drag and drop Excel and Word file into power point is working fine.  Thank you. 

    I would suggest you try a complete re-install and see if issue persists.
    I know I know, but you've already tried the Most Possible solutions (disable the protected mode/ register the OLE libray). It might worth trying a complete uninstall and re-install.

  • Embedding several PDF files into one using bookmarks

    Hello, everyone.
    My concern is about embedding some PDF files wherein there are bookmarks for each file to navigate through their chapters, sections, etc. using any PDF Viewer.
    I want to embed these PDF files into an overall document which creates bookmarks to navigate through the embedded PDF files preserving the internal bookmarks of every PDF file.
    Minimal bookmarks example:
    File A
    File B
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file A
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file B
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Overall document
    File A
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file A
    Section 2
    Prologue
    File B
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file B
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Which I am almost sure it can be done with Adobe® Acrobat but I do not know how to do it and I still do not manage to get it by myself. I would not prefer to do it by joining PDF files without bookmarks and recreate them because I have files with more than one hundred sections and chapters, it would be really troublesome besides I have not enough time to devote on it.
    Thank you in advance to everyone.

    Use Acrobat's Combine files feature (available in Acrobat XI Standard and Pro).
    Be well...

  • How do I covert a pdf file into a Power point presentation using Formcentral?

    I bought this program in order to convert large pdf files into powerpoint presentations, using 1 page in the pdf to eqaul 1 slide. However, upon buying said software I quickly figured out that it would not let me do anything of such kind. It won't even let me import my pdf files! What am I doing wrong?  Thanks! - John

    FormsCentral is all about forms. You should have purchased the CreatePDF service (www.adobe.com/createpdf)
    You can call up support and cancel your subscription, then purchase the other product.

  • Embedding a pdf file in 10g reports

    Hello Dears,

    Please help

    PDFs are technically media files which require a helper app like Acrobat Reader and plug-ins to launch the helper app inside a browser.   Many people, myself included, do not have the plug-ins. Or if we do, we choose not to open PDFs in our browsers.  System preferences vary from one user to the next. So embedding a PDF inside an iframe will fail to work for a large  number of people.
    The safest practice is to create a thumbnail image of the PDF to give visitors a visual clue about what it contains.  Then provide a direct link to the PDF file.  That's how adobe does it on their samples page.

  • Importing adobe illustrator files into powerpoint. (Vector)

    How can I import vector Illustrator files into Powerpoint, so I can edit them later. I have tried PDF (won't work), WMF text breacks up and scaling makes the text crap!
    EPS looks rubbish.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I need the graphic to be able to sit in Power point, look great quality and be completely able to be edited in Power point, Text included. It all needs to be vector. And no text breaking up and able to change colours and fonts and scalable etc.
    Need to edit the graphic colour and change update text.
    Then you can't build it in Illustrator; at least not all of it.*
    ...or create in Power point...
    .That's your answer. Ultimately, Powerpoint-editable = Powerpoint native.
    ...which is very limited!
    Are you just assuming that, or have you actually tried to do something and found it impossible? Plenty of drawing can be done in Powerpoint, and text is text. What exactly are you trying to do?
    *If you are running Windows, there are ways to get straight Illustrator vectors (no live effects, blends, meshes, etc.) onto a Powerpoint slide using Paste Special. Forget text though, seeing as you need it live and editable in Powerpoint...you'll have no choice but to set it in Powerpoint.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

    Hey
    I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
    MY WISH -
    Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
    I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
    This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
    I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

    Reader doesn't have that ability. You would need Acrobat.

    As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.
