Whenb i embedd pdf files into word, they sometimes open and sometimes they don't. The issue is intermittent and i am not sure where the problem could be.

 

Is there a solution for this or it's just a bug or incopatability issues?

 

Thanks

David

You didn't say whether you are running on Windows or MacOS, but under Windows, none of the Microsoft Office applications allow for “embedding” PDF files at all. What you might get is a low resolution raster image of what the PDF file looks like.

    Well, it could be that the Word-processor your're using compresses the PDF files incorrectly when embedding them into a DOCX.
