Will Acrobat XI Pro embed Word/Excel files within a pdf? + Excel question

Hi,

I am thinking of getting Acrobat Pro XI and have never used it before. I am currently working with a number of Word documents that embed Excel spreadsheets and Letter tempates in them. Due to the nature of the embedded documents they can't be put on the web with a link and I cannot mess about with the documents too much. When I save the document as a PDF using Word I lose all the embedded files. Does Acrobat XI Pro let me do embedded files with in a pdf? If yes, can I embed Word and Excel files or do I have to convert them all to pdf? Also, if I convert Excel documents using this software does it retain formulas/macros/lists?

Hi,

Would like to inform that you may insert the Word/ Excel files into a pdf file. If you would like to merge them you may do that in acrobat , but in excel files none of the functions/Macros/Lists will work in Acrobat (as pdf) .

Please refer to this KB article for how to insert a pdf file :-  https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/merging-files-single-pdf.html
