Embedding .doc in a .pdf

I have Word 2007 and Adobe Reader 9. In my Word doc, I have an embedded .doc.  When I pdf it, the link no longer works.
Any ideas? thanks

you're right...it's not a link, it's an icon, and by "not working" I mean when I click on it in the pdf, it doesn't go to the document - just nothing happens. 
To create the PDF, I was in Word, and did "file>save as> pdf" ...perhaps this is Adobe Pro?? Sorry I don't know all the techie words...I'm new at this.
But apparently I'm on the wrong forum - I think I need to discuss this on the Adobe Acrobat Pro forum.
thanks anyway.

  • Embedding DOC's and PDF's dynamically in Crystal Reports

    Hi,
    Is there a way to embedd PDF/word documents dynamically into the Crystal Reports. I do understand we can do that for Images using 'Graphic Lcoation' option but that feature wont work with word docs and Pdf's.
    Please let me know if there is any 3rd party utility tool that makes it happen or Can it be coded using any codes like VB/C#/Java etc.
    I have posted this question in Crystal reports as well. But I want to know if it is programatically possible using Java SDK or not.
    Thanks

    I don't think you can embedd a pdf or word document in the crystal report. The only alternative I think of is:
    add a text object to the report. Right click > Format Text > hyperlink tab > select Hyperlink type as a file and use browse to specify the pdf or word file on disk or network location the file you want to open. So it will open the pdf or word upon clicking the link.
    This can be done at runtime only using Report Application Server SDK and not Crystal Reports for Java.

  • Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
    Thank you,
    Louise.

    Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?

  • Problem opening embedded docs in Word 2011

    I recently upgraded my business workstation to a Mac.  For docs I am using Microsoft Word 2011.  I received a doc from a colleague (PC) who embedded docs in the the document.  In this particular case they were pdfs.  These were embedded as objects.  In the past all I needed to do was double click and the object opened as the document.  Now that I am on a Mac, when I try to open the pdf opject, I get the following message:  'Word cannot locate the server application for ArchExch.Document.7 objects.'  How do I acess these embedded documents?  Many of my clients use a PC.  I'd rather not have to buy a PC Word and open via parallels.  It will get very complicated.

    It used to be possible in Word 2003 for Mac.
    However, I found the solution to this myself right now. In order to indent an entire paragraph, you indent the second line of a paragraph, using the Tab-key. This will indent the entire thing. A stupid, silly thing to change, but at least this works.

  • Need help: trouble printing a doc into a pdf

    Hello
    I can not take a word docx or any other format and convert it into a pdf format.  When I click on printer, then pdf, hit ok - it gives me :
    invalid "adobe pdf" printer properties: do not change spooler settings. Please selete "print directly to the printer" option (from adobe pdf printer properties "advanced" tab).
    then it says windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup
    I have tried setting the 'print directly to printer' and it does nothing but along pause... no print
    It used to work before now it stopped working and I don't know what happened
    I am not sure where the problem is, I do not have a lot of knowledge when it comes to computers.
    I do have an adobe reader 9.3 and an adobe acrobate 4.0 
    I am also using windows vista
    Please help me!  Thanks

    There are forums I read that say there is a convert on the word dox program.  Problem is that I am not always wanting to convert a word doc into a pdf.  There are other programs I want to convert as well like .indd for example, which does not have a pdf coverter option in its program
    I tried a live chat ... and they said they could not help me because they can only help version 10

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    John

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

  • Fonts not embedding when "save as" pdf

    Version: Photoshop CS4 64 bit on Windows Vista 64.
    Issue: fonts not getting embedded during conversion to pdf.
    I am attempting to save files for commercial printing in Photoshop pdf format (file-save as-pdf). In the past, using previous versions of Photoshop, the fonts have always been embedded in the pdf document when I choose the "Press Quality" pdf preset. However, now, even when I simplify my Photoshop source file down to the most basic level (one non-background layer with one line of type using a font I KNOW has successfully embedded before) the resulting pdf reports NO embedded fonts (no fonts at all, actually) and when sized up a great deal in Acrobat Pro shows pixelation as though the type was converted to a graphic. If I open the resulting pdf file in Photoshop the text is still editable though...
    I have Photoshop files that were built using a previous version of Photoshop (CS2). When I open these in Photoshop CS4 and save as pdf the fonts are embedded just as they always were so the problem lies not with the CS4 version of Photoshop itself but rather with NEW files created by it. It seems that any NEW files I create using Photoshop CS4 wil not embed their fonts when saved as pdfs.
    Help !!?!! (example file attached)

    Good points. To test that out I tried substituting different non-commercial fonts (Arial, Tahoma, Times, etc.) and then saving as a pdf. No matter what fonts I try they don't get embedded. So that would seem to rule out the idea that Photoshop CS4 is now restricting the embedding of fonts to non-commercial ones.
    I have poured through the save-as-pdf options in GREAT detail - have tried many various options and don't see any settings that have either made a difference or seem relevant. According to Adobe documentation anytime you select "Press Quality" as the preset the fonts should automatically be embedded.
    The really odd thing is, if I take a psd file that was originally created using a previous version of Photoshop, delete all the layers and then create one single line type layer so that it is identical in every way to my CS4 test file, any font I select gets embedded when I convert that file to pdf - same exact pdf preset - all file settings the same - everything! - except that it was originally created using a previous Photoshop version.
    Does that make ANY sense??

  • How do I hide the file names/path names of embedded images in a PDF document?

    I created a PDF document from a Word document, and the problem is that the PDF document shows the file names and path names for all of the embedded images in the PDF document. I don't want that information displayed. I don't want to send the PDF out to clients and have them read the names I've assigned to those images, plus it looks messy. And I've lost many of the original image files so they only exist in the Word document, thus I can't go back and rename them. I searched the internet for an answer but I couldn't find one anywhere.

    When you create a tagged (accessible) PDF file from Word, placed bitmap images will use their filename as the "ALT text" if you don't define something else for the text to say, because an image without any ALT text is a failure against the accessibility standards. You can't change that default action, so you should put your own meaningful text into the ALT field for each image - which is what you should be doing anyway if the PDF is standards-compliant.
    You can can set the text in Word, but it depends on your version as to where the dialogs are - Google for it - or you can change/delete it in Acrobat using the tags navigation pane on the left side of the window (right-click the sidebar if it's not visible). Drill down through the tags structure to find the "<Figure>" tag you want to change, right-click and choose Properties, then put something in the "Alternative text" field. This process isn't something you can easily automate, but if you don't need tags at all, you can save without tags (or print to PDF).

    In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

    from the FAQs on Staples website:
    I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
    Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
    Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
    Or does it occur in all other applications.
    Check your Work preferences first:
    If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

  • Combining Office 2010 word docx files or doc files into pdf freezes Adobe Acrobat 9.X

    When combining multiple Office 2010 Word docs into one pdf causes Adobe to freeze. A word dialog box pops-up prompting to save the pdf to start out(which is incorrect). Naming the pdf should be the last step. It does save the first doc into the pdf you name but does not merge the rest of the pages and just freezes. I have uninstalled, repaired Office, etc. Any suggestion would help or it looks like a complete rebuild of the system.

    Thanks again Bill
    I tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer as you suggested, the process was successful and no errors came up. Close examination of the file did not reveal ant weird formatting or fonts. I tried repairing the file with Word to no avail.
    I eventually found that replacing the last two paragraphs of the document which contained a couple of links did the trick. Something weird and unexplained. All I know for sure is the issue is dealt with on my end.

  • How do I convert a iWork 08 pages doc to a pdf or Word doc ?

    I have an iWork 08 pages document that I wish to e-mail to a general dist. list. So I want to convert the doc to a pdf or Word file so the list can read it.
    Must I purchase iWork 09 to do this  by either;
      1)   opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then converting to pdf ?
       2) or,  opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then open the 09 converted pages doc in Office for Mac 2010, Word to produce a Word doc?
    Thanks for any help.

    Peter, Jerry:
      Thanks for your elegant solutions.
    I am going to buy iWork 09 for all our offices, and use iWork 09 because we can upload iWork 09 stuff from our iPads to iCloud and then downLoad the doc's to   different offices to complete the doc's and format them. 
    The existence of iCloud is going to cause us to abandon all our old Office software and standrize with iWork.
    Only wish we could upload iWork 09 docs to iCloud from iMacs, but maybe that will be possible in the future.
    Any way, bye, bye Word & Excel ...

    what is the files type that you are trying to export?
    what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

  • Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

    I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..).  It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
    My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two.  I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate).  However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse.  At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
    Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not?  And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
    Thank you.

    Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen.  I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.
