How do I embed an excel spreadsheet in a pdf so that it will open if selected?

I have a word doc with embedded spreadsheets, but they just appear as an icon when I convert the document to pdf - i.e. they won't open if you double-click on them

Hi John,

May i know which service or application of Adobe you are using?

You can create a portfolio and you can add a spread sheet with that. Or you can simple attach a spread sheet with PDF using Adobe Acrobat.

Hi Ajlan I’m using Acrobat XI Pro.

I have a word doc with an excel file embedded (i.e. double click and the file opens) I don’t want the pages of the excel file displayed unless the reader of the document chooses to open the attachment. That’s how it works in Word – can I replicated that in a pdf?

Thanks

John

Good to know -- there is an Acrobat specific user forum.

As to your question. You'd attach the XLS / XLSX file to PDF file.

Be well...
