I have Acrobat Pro and need to convert a word document with embedded PDF's.
Once converted using the Adobe utility in Word, the embedded doc icion is converted to an image in Acrobat.
I have attched documents to the pdf but can't find a way to create a link in the pdf to these attachments.
Would prefer to have the embedded docs convert, but happy to have a resolution for either method
You may not like this answer but …
There is no way that Microsoft provides for creating PDF from Word documents with embedded files (such as PDF files) where either (1) the contents of the Word-embedded PDF file appear in the PDF file itself or (2) a link is provided to such an embedded PDF file.
The same problem occurs regardless of whether you use Microsoft's built-in “save as PDF” or Acrobat's PDFMaker. Both of these rely on an EMF stream produced by Word with all the document's contents. Such embedded files are not provided in that EMF stream, only the icon. Likewise, if you try printing to PDF via AdobePDF, that embedded PDF file is likewise ignored.
Sorry, unless Microsoft augments their external interfaces, there isn't anything that Adobe can do to assist here.
