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.

    If PDF Maker will not include the links, then you will probably have to use the link tool to include them manually. As long as you do not have too many of those links, it should not be a problem. The linked files might have to be made into PDF files also for proper operation.

    I tried the objects in WORD 2003 and used PDF Maker to create a PDF. I had all of the options selected in PDF Maker. The files had no link in the PDF. I was able to simply add a link within the PDF, but it was not added automatically by PDF Maker. I think this was the same result you had found. Thus, I guess you are stuck with adding the object links after the fact. I think that with newer versions of Acrobat, you can actulally embed the object within the PDF also.


    Thanks where do I get this link tool?
