Hi Newbie,

PDF reDirect is a PDF creation tool but does not contain a viewer. The system requirements for that product include having one of
the 3 PDF view products listed at
http://www.exp-systems.com/PDFreDire...elp.htm#Reqmts

Word does not have a built in ability to view PDF documents inserted into documents. It can use Adobe Reader (and probably Foxit)
to show a representation of the first page of a PDF file.

Hello Bob,

I tried PDF-Xchange Viewer and EasyPDF.
I got same result.
I can use Adobe Arcobat 9.0 reader, but I need PDF edit function.

Thanks

Hi Newbie,

I'm not clear on how installing the Adobe Acrobat viewer has any effect on the use of a separate PDF creation product. The one you
mentioned originally required the additional installation of the viewing software. http://foxitsoftware.com tools offer both PDF
editing and viewing, but I've not tried installing without also having the Adobe viewer as well.

With Adobe viewer installed you should be able to view in Word the first page of a PDF file, as a graphic. If you're going to be
sending the document to others, who have Adobe viewer installed that's probably what they'll see (that first page image).

Hello Bob,

Here is our problem.

We have 10 workstations in our company.
Our company only have one Acrobat 8.0 license.

We have a table inside word document and we insert PDF documents to the table.
I tried different PDF softwares (include Foxit Reader).
I just cannot open the PDFs inside the word except Acrobat Pro or Reader.
But we need the edit function so we cannot use Acrobat Reader for other 9
workstations.

Our idea is using some program to manage the collection of PDF and Excel
files.
I think Word is bad idea. right?

Thanks

Hi Newbie,

I think you may be confusing the Adobe Acrobat product (not free) with the Adobe [Acrobat/PDF] Reader (which is free). It's the
separate Reader product that PDFRedirect requires to be installed according to their webpage so you can view PDFs and that also
enables Word to convert the first page of a PDF to a displayable graphic

Do the PDF documents need to be readable on screen/print when you insert them in the table? You can embed a PDF Object in Word
without the viewing capability, it depends on what your end purpose/needs are. If you don't need to see the first page of content
in Word you can choose the 'Display as icon' choice in
Insert=Object
but as with other objects to be able to then open that object to edit it you will be relying on the presence of a 3rd party app
(i.e. you'll be editing in the other app, not in Word).

Insert=Object carries with it what can be quite a bit of file overhead and may not transport well. If the Adobe Reader is
displaying the 1st page as a graphic and you need to then edit the PDF embedded in the document you may be able to do so by double
clicking it or by using Right click then edit. It can depend on how the editing app is associated with the .PDF files on that
computer. If you use Insert=Object is there a listing for a PDFRedirect (or similar) blank object for example?

You may want to have a look at Word MVP Jonathan West's Multilinker product as a different approach

Bob,

I do not have Acrobat Reader installed, but I do have the Foxit reader.
When I embed a pdf as an icon in Word 2007 and then try to open it, I get the
following error message:

"The program used to create this object is FoxitReader. That program is not
installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program
that can open the object."

I am not trying to edit it, but only trying to open it. If I right-click
the pdf icon and select "PDF Object" and "Open", I get the same error. The
Foxit reader is installed and working correctly, but Microsoft doesn't seem
to realize it.
