Hi. I want to insert an interactive PDF showing a 48 page brochure within an outer PDF. It's for an awards entry and I'm only allowed to send 4 pages and its the best way I can think of showing a large brochure within a smaller space. Any advice on how to do this gratefully received. I'm using Indesign CS6 and Acrobat Pro DC.

What a strange limitation... You can try attaching the larger file to the smaller one to overcome it, but there are likely others, like file-size.

It's very common to limit the pages accompanying a competition entry so the judges won't have to scroll through too much material. Attaching won't embed the interactive PDF will it? Do you know a way to embed an interactive PDF (say in HTML or as a standalone PDF with forward and backward buttons) into another PDF?

No, a PDF file can't be "embedded" into another PDF file. It can be attached, or merged with it, or you can attach them both under another file (or a Portfolio).
