Inserting an Entire PDF into a Word 2007 Document
Yeah, that's pretty much the conclusion I came to as well.
I'd like to be able to download all the latest 3rd-party programs, but I'm working on a government-owned computer that has very strict configuration management protocols. I can't download anything that isn't on the approved list. Thanks. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word has no ability to edit or display PDF files. You can only insert a PDF into a Word document as an object and as objects cannot span pages, you will only be able to view the first page in Word. As others have indicated it may be possible to use OCR (or possibly the full version of Acrobat) to obtain an editable version of the PDF in Word format, but inevitably the amount of re-editing to get the Word version to match the original will be a Herculean task - even with the best OCR software. There is no simple solution, while it is necessary to keep the document in Word format. It therefore makes far more sense to have the whole document in PDF format and use Acrobat/Reader to view it. The full version of Acrobat can be used to combine the PDFs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Jerry" wrote in message ... I've been given what seems to be an impossible task. I'm hoping somebody can help me make it work. I am trying to create a Word document that will have three attachments. The material that needs to be in the attachments is only available in three files (from a different company), with 48 pages, 42 pages, and 66 pages, respectively. Unfortunately, due to government contract limitations, I do not have access to the original Word files from which the other company created these PDFs. I know I could save the PDFs as JPEGs, and then insert 156 separate JPEG files, one for each page, resized appropriately, but that's going to make a HUGE Word file, and is going to be extremely labor intensive. I know I could create a PDF of my word file and then use my Acrobat suite to insert the PDFs in the appropriate locations, but my boss wants to be able to view the document in Word. I've tried the "Insert Text from File" option, but that won't let me insert text from a PDF. Are there any other options I'm missing? Thanks. Jerry . |
