When I convert a word file with embedded files (insert object) then convert the document to PDF i cannot open the embedded files they just show up as pictures. Where is the setting to enable me to click on the file in PDF and have it open. I have Pro 8.1.4

    Did you print or use PDF Maker (create PDF)? I think you have to use the latter to enable embedded files, but I am not sure that will do it either - worth a check.

    Is there any documentation that says that embedded files should be converted to attachments? I just briefly looked at the Acrobat documentation and can find no reference to that capability.
