Reading pdf files in word 2003
Hi everyone. I messed up something, and now I can no longer read pdf files
in word (I have Acrobat Reader 7.0). I used to be able to just open the pdf file in word, and it would open. Can anyone help me on how to restore this? Thanks so much. -- Alan |

Reading pdf files in word 2003
Word does not read .pdf files. Never has, never will.

Thank you JoAnn. I can't believe how I confused myself so completely. Sigh.

If you have a PDF inserted into a Word doc as an object or as an Icon,
double-clicking it *will* cause it to open in Reader... Perhaps that's what you were thinking about:-) If it doesn't open in a PDF reader you may want to right click a PDF file icon to see if the file association is intact.

Hi JoAnn,
Actually you can insert a PDF file into Word as an object. If Adobe Reader 7.0 or higher is installed the first page should be viewable as a graphic (i.e. upto single page size). As with multipage TIFFs, Word doesn't contain the ability to separate out the pages to be viewable. Some folks create PDFs of individual pages from Powerpoint presentations or spreadsheets and include those in Word as their company standards specify to use PDF rather than graphics as inserted items. You may want to be a bit more careful on 'never will' statements It took a number of years to get the 'save as PDF' feature added, and some folks said that wouldn't happen either g. =============== "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

But that's a different story. If you insert a .pdf file in a Word document,
you still have a Word document, not a .pdf file. And you're right, that never will part could come back to bite me in the rump but I'll take my chances. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...
