What is the current default application for PDF files in Windows? There were
some limitations before Acrobat/Reader versions 7 that *may* be the reason
for your problems.

Hi there,
Several of my coworkers and I are experiencing the same problem when
we embed a PDF file into a Word document - the PDF icon does not
display. My company is still in the dark ages with Word 2000, so I
don't know if the problem is related to that.
Basically, I will Insert ObjectCreate from fileCheck Display as
Icon Browse and select the PDF icon, but the icon doesn't appear
once it's embedded in the document. The PDF name will appear and I
can still double click on that to open the document, but the Icon
doesn't appear so other readers don't realize that it's a document
link.

I can insert other types of files such as Word and Excel documents
and those icons will appear within my Word docs and I can insert PDF
files into my Excel docs and the icon will appear, so the problem
seems to be limited to inserting a PDF file into a word document. Has
anyone else experienced this problem and do you know how to fix it?
Thank you!!
