I am able to insert a PDF as an object into Word, but the image quality is slightly blurry.  Is there anything I can adjust to improve image clarity in Word?

Microsoft Office applications under Windows provide no real mechanism for placing PDF content at full quality. When you do attempt to import PDF, what you actually end up is a screen resolution, low quality raster image representation of the PDF you are importing, not the original, high quality content. Simply stated, Microsoft Office can't handle the graphically rich imaging model of PDF, only raster images and crippled vector formats such as WMF and EMF. Sorry!

Don't complain about this here. Adobe can't assist. Contact Microsoft.

 

If you read the rest of the thread, you will see that none of the Microsoft Office applications support enough of the PDF imaging model to allow full integration of PDF into Office documents.

 

And of course such integration can mean any number of things. What most in this thread apparently want or wanted was a way to place PDF content into an Office document as opposed to taking PDF content and making it native.
