Default Document object in protected form

I have a Word form for recording corrective actions taken within the company.
Sometimes I would like to attach supporting documentation, but have been
frustrated in my attempts to insert document objects.
The form is a protected document (table) with form fields. The evidence I
want to attach is usually in the form of .pdf files. I had thought I could
unprotect a section of the document and insert document objects which the
user could double click to view the document. However, only inline document
objects seem to work in a protected document, and even at that the document
tends to become unstable. The problem with inline document objects is that I
pretty much have to take the size they give me. If I attempt to change it I
will distort either the text or the icon (but not both, since I can see no
option but to choose one or the other). However, if I attempt to change the
icon to in front of text or with word wrapping I can not click on the
document object in any part of a protected document. Any ideas, or am I just
overly ambitious?
