How do I embed a PDF as an object in a Word document?

Up until January 2014, I could easily embed a PDF ( or any other file ) in a Word document. Now I cannot embed a PDF object as an icon. Does anyone have a work around for this?

It's odd, because so far I know this was never supposed to work. It may have been an accidental side effect of the browser plug-in.

How can I get the PDF to retain margins set in Word document?

Hi NancyS,
If you're on Windows, you can try using the PDF Desktop printer to "print" your document to PDF format. Here are the instructions for installing and setting up the PDF Desktop printer: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.
Please let us know if you have better luck using the PDF Desktop Printer.

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

Hi jackp52432917,
How was that PDF file created? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

How can I get a passage highlighted in yellow in a word document sent to Adobe Reader?

How can I get a passage highlighted in yellow in a word document sent to Adobe Reader?

You can view non-PDF documents, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, in Adobe Reader for iOS. However, you are not able to add comments or edit non-PDF documents in Adobe Reader.
To open a non-PDF document in other iOS app.
Tap anywhere in a document to display the toolbar in Adobe Reader.
Tap the Share icon on the right side of the toolbar.
Select Open In... from the menu.
Select an appropriate app to open the document.
Alternatively, you can convert a Word/Excel/PowerPoint/RTF document to PDF using the paid subscription service called Adobe PDF Pack and add comments to a resultant PDF document.

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

How do you embed a pdf into a pdf?

I have a word document, that has files embedded in it. There are excel, word, ppt and pdf files embedded in it. I want to convert the word document to a pdf but want the pdf to contain the embedded docs within it.

PDF files do not support the idea that another document can be embedded within a region of a page - any files embedded into the Word document using the Insert>Object command will appear in the PDF as bitmap images, effectively a screenshot of what you can see in Word. You can attach the files to the PDF once it's created but they will only appear on the attachments side panel.

Hi kathyv30365453,
You can convert PDF to Word using either the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat. I checked your account, and it doesn't look like you've purchased an ExportPDF subscription. If you want to give Acrobat a try, you're welcome to download a 30-day trial from the link I reference above. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.

Your file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version.

How can one print a particular page or pages from a Word Document using ActiveX or any other technique?

I've been trying to print a few pages from a Word document.
Currently I am able to print the entire document using some ActiveX techniques.
There seems to be facilities for selecting the particular pages, however so far I cannot get them to work.
I have tried the From/To and the Pages in the PrintOut invoke node.
And as you will see I have also tried the Range node.
Anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
Please see the attached vi.
Thanks,
Chris

How do I begin with a template and then import a Word document?

I know I can open a word document in pages (I do this all the time). But I have a specific template and I want the word document I open to take up the designed elements of the template. How do I do that?

George
You can import the styles from another document:
+Menu > Format > Import Styles…+
but it will come down to what you need to retain from what.
You can not import layout or elements, so you will have to work out which holds most of what you want and import the styles from one and apply that or copy and paste into the document that contains most of the work.
Don't forget you can use the thumbnails to copy across whole pages/sections.
This is where Pages extremely weak and poorly thought through layout methods fall down. You will not be able to apply the master pages and master page layouts, to existing work, that you can in other DTP software.

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

How can I embed a PDF in my Captivate 5.5 project that will open in a new window when the user click

I put a glossary button in my project. When the user clicks on the button, I want the file to open in a new browser window. This works in preview mode, but not when I publish it. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?
