Insert pdf doc into word

I have many pdf documents that need to be inserted into various word
documents. Does anyone know an easy way to do this? The only way I know is
to take a screen shot of each page and paste it into word.

Thanks,
Mickey

Hi Mickey,

PDF files are multilayer (page) files. If Adobe Reader v7 or higher is installed on a PC you can use Insert=>Object=>From File to
insert a PDF file as an object in Word, but you'll only see the top page.

There are 3rd party utilities that can 'read' the PDF files into text and others that can separate the PDF pages as individiual
graphics to be inserted into Word.

You can also insert a hyperlink to the PDF in Word so that when they hyperlink is followed the PDF file opens in the Adobe Viewer,
but the PDF files would need to be available at the linked location.

Hi,
just go to the insert tab within Word. Press "Object"
Either press create New and choose the "Adobe Acrobat Document" or choose "cCeate from file" and then browse to the needed file and add it.

Remember that Word documents with PDF implemented files are bigger in size than conventional documents. They usually require a higher version of Adobe Reader.
