Holy Moly, I just figured out a solution!
I'll do some experimenting to figure out if this work with other file combinations, but I found a thread talking about this and it worked!
Problem:
- Colleague sends me a .XLS which has an embedded .PDF on one sheet
- Office: Mac 2011 will not open the .PDF because of lack of OLE support
Solution:
- Copy the .XLS file to a new file
- Rename the file from <filename.xls> to <filename.zip>
- Open the .ZIP with Archive Utility
- Browse into the resulting "decompressed" folder to filename>xl>embeddings
- Find the file of interest, named something like <oleObject2.bin>
- Rename to <oleObject.pdf>
VOILA! The PDF is recovered in its fully glory.
How do you perform this conversion on an iPad? You seem to be addressing an issue you're having on a Mac. The OP was looking for a solution for the problem on the iPad. And, of course, the thread has been dormant for a year.
Best of luck.

  • Switching to MAC from Windows: How to open files in Office 2007  VMFusion?

    Dear all,
    Intro:
    I switched to MAC and now cannot find the solution to a simple problem.
    First: I need an Office 2007 PowerPoint FULLY compatible solution.
    What did not work: IWork, NeoOffice, Office 2008 (this is not fully compatible with Office 2007 Files)
    I also had problems with: Parallels (not stable, too many hangups), codeweaver crossover (office files do not even open sometimes, good idea but not suitable for serious office jobs)
    Now I have VMWare Fusion with WinXP and Office 2007 as this seems to be the only truly stable and best solution to run Office 2007 on Mac
    Question:
    How to open files in Office 2007 on MAC VMWare Fusion easily?
    It would be nice to spotlight the file and click and it opens in powerpoint or excel or word 2007 in Virtual Machine.
    The only known solution to me is to use the Windows explorer to navigate to the file and then open it from Fusion WinXP. This is very cumbersome and honestly makes me think of getting back to a windows machine as I work with office frequently.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    Yes, I have Office 2007 installed. The problem is that to open files in Fusion virtual machine I have to use the windows explorer and navigate to the file to open it. Now that I have the mac I want to use the good feature of spotlight. So when I search and find the file I want to open I cannot click on it on the mac (or in finder) but I have to switch back to the virtual machine, locate the file again and open it from windows.
    You might think - ok, why not skip the first step of using spotlight, and look up the file in windows explorer before anything else?
    Correct, but I know from parallels that there is a file association possible to directly access the file in office 2007.
    This does not seem possible in Fusion - So the question is whether there is a possibility on the mac to associate the file and to click on it in finder/spotlight and the office 2007 application in fusion opens the file. So far I could not find anything.
    Thanks

  • How to Open DOC in Office 2003 and DOCX on Office 2007 automatcally when both installed on same pc

    How to Open .DOC file in Office 2003 and .DOCX on Office 2007 automatcally when both office 2003 and 2007 are installed on same pc
    When tried with open with files automatically open in 2007.

    Presumably you've confirmed that both copies of Word are working alongside each other, and if you right click on a document you see both options listed in the Open With menu?
    If so the first thing to try is to right click on a .doc file, go to the Open With menu and then click "Choose default program". If both versions of Word are listed then simply choose Word 2003, ensuring the option to always use this choice is selected.
    If you find that both options are listed as "Microsoft Word" with no version number, or only one is listed, then select the more options entry and then at the bottom of the list select to find another app on the PC. You can then navigate to the Word 2003 executable
    and select it that way.
    Alternatively, search in the start menu for "associations" and you'll find an option to change the file type associated with a file extension. Open that and you'll get a list of every extension known to Windows, and within that you'll find .doc and .docx
    listed, and you can change which application each is associated to.

    I have transported one VC model from Development  portal to Testing Portal. But Once i transported , under the
    PortalContent -> Visual Composer -> Models folder , i am able to see the transport model and the view. If i want to edit that model in the VC story board , I am not able to see that model name in the list when logged into the visual composer Tool of the Testing portal server.
    Is there any thing need to do the work around it.
    And onemore thing, In the development portal server, when i am working on that model , it will be depended on on system object for retreiveing the BAPI data. In the Testing protal server after i transported. , i need to map some system object to run the model in Testing portal.
    What is the work around this to map the system object  with the Transported model in Testing portal server.
    should i need to create the new system object even if the R3 server is same as in Testing portal server also. or the System object need to be create only if the mapped  R3 server is different from the Development portal server.
    Please let me know how to do this.

  • How does Word open embedded files?

    can Word in Office for Mac open embedded files?

    Hi,
    have you sent a public link to the other user who needs to make changes?. They wont be able to do this. A Creative Cloud Collaboration would need to be set up for the other user to be able to edit these files. Creative Cloud Help | Collaboration FAQ

  • TS3276 how do you send file attachments (Particularly jpegs) so that receiver gets as a file not as an open embedded photograph

    how do you send file attachments (Particularly jpegs) so that receiver gets as a file not as an open embedded photograph?

    This sends the attachment as an icon, not embedded inline. Copy/Paste into Terminal in Utilities and hit return.
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
    To reverse the setting, change the 1 to a 0.
    But how it will be viewed  will all depend on the e-mail client and settings of the recipient. Not under your control.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • How do i open my multiple smart objects in my psd in one illustrator vector file?

    HELLO
    I have created a psd.
    It contains multiple smart objects which when double clicked link you to illustrator.
    I would like to open all the vector images from this file in one illustrator file.
    Is this possible?

    I guess it might be (almost) possible with Scripting in principle but probably not practically.
    To elaborate:
    One could open all the Smart Objects with a Script and with BridgeTalk it should be possible to have Illustrator perform tasks on those.
    But one can not, as far as I know, directly access scale, rotation, skew of a placed Smart Object with a Script, so that information would have to be determined with work-arounds or (partially) neglected.
    If you need vector output why did you make the arrangement in Photoshop?

  • How do I make Microsoft Office my default for opening documents?

    Is there a way to have all word documents and pages documents only open up in word?
    As well as excel documents?
    Some of my documents open in word and others open in pages by default. I want them all to be the same, and to only open in Microsoft Office programs.
    I have the new imac with OSX 10.9
    Thanks!

    Microsoft Office can't open documents saved in the native Pages format. For compatible document types, select one of them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, select the desired application, and press the Change All button.
