Getting "Cannot Insert Object" message while attaching .pdf file to excel spreadsheet.

While I am trying to attach an adobe (.pdf) file in excel spreadsheet I am getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
I am following the below mentioned steps and getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Open the adobe (.pdf) file from IE browser.
While saving the adobe file on local machine it gives warning as “This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9.  You will only be saving a copy of the original document.  Do you want to continue?” On pressing "OK" it successfully saves the file on my local machine.
While I Tried to attach the saved adobe file in a spreadsheet of excel it gives message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Does any one have any thoughts at all as to how to solve this?

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

  • Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

    How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
    Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
    From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
    Am I simply overlooking something?
    Thanks.

  • Getting message while opening PDF file exported from InDesign

    Hi,
    We have created an interactive PDF in InDesign. In this PDF we have created 15-20 pages which are link together and next previous button is provided.
    We are using InDesign CS3 and PDF reader 9. PDF is exported for version 8 onwards. Exported PDF is working properly on our machine but our client is receving the following message on their machine if they try to open this PDF (they have PDF reader 8):
    "Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
    We have not used any kind of form in my PDF only internal page hyperlinks are given.
    Attached screen shot is given for your reference.
    Is there as way for remove this message so it doen not appear? I would really appriciate if anybody can help me out.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,

  • Cannot Insert Object in Excel 2013

    I am having trouble inserting PDF's in Excel 2013. I go to Insert-->Object-->Create from File then browse to the PDF and select the checkbox for "Display as Icon." After doing this i get a generic error message that says "Cannot Insert Object." No other details.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 x64
    Office 2013 x64
    Adobe Reader X and XI. Tried them both.
    What I have tried:
    The most common answer I have found was to disable the enhanced security in the Adobe Reader preferences. This does not help.
    I also tried downgrading from Adobe Reader XI to Reader x, disabling enhanced security. That does not work either.
    I have found a workaround in Excel by going to Insert-->Package and doing it that way, but it does not show the Adobe Reader icon in the spreadsheet when it's done. If there's a way to use this method and still have the adobe icon that'd be great.
    I called Microsoft support and they think this is an Adobe issue, because I can insert other things via the create from file method, just not PDF's.
    Other notes:
    The Insert-->Object-->Create from File method works fine in Excel 2010 so I think that Adobe Reader doesn't do well with Excel 2013.
    I need the inserted PDF's in spreadsheets to look a certain way. They must have the Adobe Icon and I need to be able to change the text below the icon.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Update:
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried a different PDF reader and the insert in Excel works fine. I really would prefer to use Adobe though. This leads me to believe that maybe it's just a setting or something in Adobe reader. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot insert object error using Power View in Excel 2013

    I created a short table in Excel 2013, positioned the cursor in the table and clicked Inset/Power View Report. I get a status window saying Excel is opening a Power View sheet but then I get a Power View error: Cannot Insert Object. I am able to insert new
    tabs in the workbook. When I try the insert again, I just get the Power View error. I looked at other threads with similar issues and did the following:
    Made the Formula bar visible - no change
    Tried to repair Office 2013 but that option is not available when I right click on the program in the Control Panel
    De-installed Silverlight - Tried to insert Power View Report. A Power View tab was created with the Power View picture and Power View ribbon. Got the message to install Silverlight and Reload. Installed Silverlight hit Reload and the Power View tab didn't
    change. Hit Power View Report and got the Cannot Insert Object error message again.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did you use PowerView first time? I notice you had found a similar thread and tested the solutions.
    PowerView is an add-in in Excel2013, We must make sure that you check some option in the trust center and Add-in center.
    http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2012/10/04/intro-to-power-view-for-excel-2013.aspx
    Location1: Excel Options>Add-in>Solver Add-in enable
    Location2: Excel Options> Trust Center> Add-in
    Then you said that you couldn’t repair the Excel 2013, please refer to the following link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
    At last, we may test it in clean boot, please refer to the following link:

    Hey vcomfort6,
    Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
    Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
    Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
    Hope to hear from you.

    I cannot attach pdf files in Outlook. Just started yesterday. I need a fix as I use this alot.

    You can experiment with how Firefox would run after a reset or reinstall by creating a new profile.
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    You'll click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (in other words, don't click the button to choose a different folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    After Firefox settles down, try Outlook. Any luck?
    If it works, log out of Outlook, exit Firefox, restart it and check again. If it doesn't work the second time, one possible explanation is a a system-installed add-on getting picked up or activated.
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

    And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
    EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
    You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
    You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

  • I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).

    I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).  I'm running iMovie 09 v. 8.0.6 on a iMac with OSX v 10.6.8, 2Ghz core duo, 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  Any ideas why?

    That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
    Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
    In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
    When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
    Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
    Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
    Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
    Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
    If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:
