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.

    It is the link tool in the TOOLS menu of Acrobat, or on the toolbar. That does not make it easy as if it had transferred directly from WORD, but it might do the job. If you are talking about movies or audio, you should use the appropriate tool, not the link tool.
