Re: embed PDF

Hi Newbie,

I think you may be confusing the Adobe Acrobat product (not free) with the Adobe [Acrobat/PDF] Reader (which is free). It's the
separate Reader product that PDFRedirect requires to be installed according to their webpage so you can view PDFs and that also
enables Word to convert the first page of a PDF to a displayable graphic

Do the PDF documents need to be readable on screen/print when you insert them in the table? You can embed a PDF Object in Word
without the viewing capability, it depends on what your end purpose/needs are. If you don't need to see the first page of content
in Word you can choose the 'Display as icon' choice in
Insert=>Object
but as with other objects to be able to then open that object to edit it you will be relying on the presence of a 3rd party app
(i.e. you'll be editing in the other app, not in Word).

Insert=>Object carries with it what can be quite a bit of file overhead and may not transport well. If the Adobe Reader is
displaying the 1st page as a graphic and you need to then edit the PDF embedded in the document you may be able to do so by double
clicking it or by using Right click then edit. It can depend on how the editing app is associated with the .PDF files on that
computer. If you use Insert=>Object is there a listing for a PDFRedirect (or similar) blank object for example?

You may want to have a look at Word MVP Jonathan West's Multilinker product as a different approach

Hello Bob,

Here is our problem.

We have 10 workstations in our company.
Our company only have one Acrobat 8.0 license.

We have a table inside word document and we insert PDF documents to the table.
I tried different PDF softwares (include Foxit Reader).
I just cannot open the PDFs inside the word except Acrobat Pro or Reader.
But we need the edit function so we cannot use Acrobat Reader for other 9
workstations.

Our idea is using some program to manage the collection of PDF and Excel
files.
I think Word is bad idea. right?

Thanks >>
