Unable to insert pdf object into ppt or word

I am unable to insert a pdf object into Word or Powerpoint. I have Adobe Reader 9.3 and Windows 7 MS Office 2010 64 bit. Previously, I was able to perform this task without issue with the same software.
For word, I get:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. The edit this object install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed".
For Powerpoint, I get:
"The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You mayneed to reinstall the server application."
Was an update sent out that may have caused the issue?
Or is there a solution to resolve the issue? The ony solution I have sound is Disabling Protect Mode which does not apply to this version of Reader.
Any help would be greately appreciated. Thank you.

There is another thread on this and seems to be an ongoing issue with neither Microsoft nor Adobe owning up to it. What I did to work-around the issue is create a .zip file of the .pdf file which can then be put into the workd doc as an object file icon. Worked for me. Not the best solution but this has been ongoing since 2011, and this worked.

Unable to insert pdf object into 64-bit Word 2010

I have always been able to insert pdf files into word documents. However, when I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Word, I started experiencing the below issue.
My setup is: Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2010 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.7.
When I attempt to insert a pdf file into Word, I receive the following message:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
I have researched this issue a great deal.
Previously, I found a posting which specified some registry keys to delete. I followed these directions and it worked. But, after installing some updates, the issue is back and I am unable to find the post specifying the registry keys to remove.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Brandon

Solution:
Open Adobe Reader / Pro
Go to Edit àPreferenceà General (LHS)àUncheck “Enable protected mode at startup”.
Adobe Reader’s protected mode will be disabled
Now try inserting Adobe document in Word, it will work.

How To Insert A object into Conext

Hi Techies,
I have 8 tables in my designer
and I have two contexts at designer level
And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..
Thanks in Advance..

Double-click the Objects and click the TABLES button and select the table you want to associate the object to for the context to work properly (see below).

I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

Hi markm11762689,
When you insert pages, you can determine whether they go before or after the first or last page, or a page number that you specify.
If you're inserting multiple files at once, they will all be inserted in the same spot that you specify in the Select File to Insert dialog box.
There may be a way to handle this programmatically, and there are some very clever folks who visit these forums regularly. Let's see if they chime in...
Best,

How to insert an object into an object array

I have an array of objects and im trying to insert an object into the array at position zero. Does anyone know what method I can use for this?

Hey,
Are u using a normal array or an array list ?
For instance if you are using a normal array and you wnat to store an object of classX it should be something like this:
myArray[0] = new classX(vlaue1, Value2, Value3);this will only work if you have a default constructer for the objects.
I am posting under correction here but this is the basic idea.
Hope it helps :-)

Cannot open PDFs inserted as objects into Excel.

Two-part question. I know this has been addressed before, but the solutions are not working for me.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader XI. When inserting a PDF document as an object into Excel, it will not allow me to insert the icon/object from the "Create New" option. I get one of two error messages: 'Cannot insert object' or 'Cannot start the soruce application for this object'. I am able to insert the PDF icon/object if I insert from the "Create from file" option. (Please note I cannot always link to the PDF, as some spreadsheets are sent out externally and will not have access.)
Once I am finally able to insert the document as an object, I can open and view the PDF. However, when I close the spreadsheet and re-open it, if I try to open the PDF document again, I get this error message again: 'Cannot start the soruce application for this object'.
I have changed my preference to disable the Protected Mode at startup and this issue is still happening. VERY frustrating. I never encountered this is past versions of Adobe and all previous suggestions are not fixing the issue. Does anyone have any insight or know of an update to fix this issue? Is this an Adobe issue or a Microsoft Office issue?

Re: How to embed the Word Document and PDF file into Crystal report?
Posted: Dec 23, 2008 9:07 AM in response to: James Terry E-mail this message Reply
Hi
Perform the following steps to import a Microsoft Word document (*.doc) into a report using Crystal Reports:
1) Create a new Crystal report.
2) From the Insert menu, click OLE object.
3) Select Create from file.
4) Click Browse and open the file to use (in this case the Word document).
5) Place the OLE object in the section where you would like to see it.
You can only place the OLE Object in one section. You may need to create a Word document for each section. For instance, you can create a word document to use as OLE object in the Report Header section, and another one to place in the Page Header.

Unable to Insert PDF to Powerpoint 2010 getting error

Hi,
I am getting this 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" when I am trying to insert an PDF file into Powerpoint slide I am using this method to insert the pdf file => from INSERT menu=>OBJECT=>Create from file. I have unchecked the protected mode at
start up from security settings of adobe reader (I am using ver 11.0.0.9) and other suggested troubleshooting but no luck so far please help me out of this problem.
I have done the following troubleshooting so far with no luck,as the problem persist:-
1)Reinstall the Adobe reader 11.0.0.9
2)repair the office 2010 64 bit
3)removed the Adobe reader 11.0.0.9 ver and tried the same for ver 9 and ver 10
4) unchecked the protected mode at start up from security settings of adobe reader
5)Clean boot method is also of no use as I tried it also.
Microsoft really needs to take note of it as it seems to be a bug in 64 bit office

Hi Swapnil,
It's a common issue when you try to embed an object in your presentation. In most cases, the reason is because Adobe Reader X has a new Protected mode, and usually, disable that protected mode will fix the issue.
For your case, I'd suggest you try to re-register the Component Object Model provider,
OLE32.dll and see if it helps:
Just type: regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\ole32.dll in the CMD window, and then press
Enter. Click OK.
Hope it helps.

Inserting excel object into powerpoint

I am in BPC for PowerPoint and trying to "Insert BPC for Excel Object"
It comes back as an empty worksheet. No other worksheet works either.
The same file works when I insert it into BPC for Word.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question? Do you want to have a SWF-file, published by Presenter with inserted SWF's created in CP. Because you speak about 'using the Presenter tab', so I suppose you have Adobe Presenter installed. I have inserted quite a lot of CP-SWF's in a PPT, and this works fine (especially after the recent Presenter update), but the result is a SWF-published by Presenter (under the same Presenter tab). You can even choose to control the CP-SWF by its proper playbar or by the playbar of Presenter.
BTW, a user doesn't need to have CP installed to watch a CP-SWF, only the Flash Player.
If this is not the answer you expect, please try to explain somewhat more.

Inserting pdf file into database

I am trying to insert a adobe pdf file into a multimedia field in my database and while I can get it to cut and past I would like it to auto size into the box that I have defined for it. I have many records to compile, thousands. Some of these pdf files have several pages and it would be nice to be able to scroll through thier content in that multimedia field box. How do I do this? Is it possible? If not I assume I am stuck with making a link that opens the file. I assume this is possible. How do I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
Shane

Hello
You may enter the Layout > Layout mode to enlarge the area dedicated to the multimedia field.
But there is no provision for an autosize feature.
The link soluce is not available in databases.
I mimic it true the "enhanced database" structure requiring an AppleScript.
You may find the script on my temp iDisk or in the Peggy's one which is organised well.

Insert PDF document into Word 2007 document

I am trying to insert a PDF document into a Word 2007 document and only the first page inserts. I am desperate to finish this project. Thanks for any help.

A lot depends on what your end goal is in using the PDF. Without some concept of where you are headed, there is not much more that can be said, other than list a bunch of other ways to interact with WORD.
Yeah, I agree with Bill@VT. More precisely say, if you just need to quote the pdf content, you can just use "snagit" screenshot program to capture desired part of the pdf file as an image then paste into your word document. Usually in this way, there will not any resize or data loss of reuse pdf content into word file.
And of course, if you want to further change or edit the pdf content or seamlessly <link removed>, you just try to convert pdf to word with Adobe Acrobat or other software.

Inserting PDF form into Word

I am needing to insert an interactive PDF form into a section in a word document. It is an approval page and MUST be pdf-protected, but still let the user fill in the areas where allowed. Word lets me insert this file and I am able to type in the areas where needed - the interactive feature works great to this point. Even after saving what I've typed/entered, it still doesn't display what I typed in Word (the inserted interactive PDF). Can anyone tell me how I can get my pdf to work properly this way?

I have not done this but I can assure you that there is nothing in Designer to do with this. At that point it is a PDF so how woudl you add any other PDF to your swing panel?

Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
1.     I open an acrobat file.
2.     I open a WORD file.
3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
Please help!
Thank you
