Help: Can't display contents of Adobe Acrobat Document in Sheet
Hoping that someone can help with this.
I'm trying to insert an Adobe Acrobat document into an Excel worksheet. I'd like to see the document contents, not an Icon. According to the Excel help files, it should be possible to display the file as it shows up in Acrobat but no matter what I do, I see only an Icon. I went through the procedure listed in the help files to convert the document (ensuring that "show as an Icon" is not checked) but nothing makes any difference! Any idea what I'm doing wrong? When I try this with other document types (eg AutoCad) everything works as expected. PS: the cell reference to the inserted Acrobat document is: =EMBED("Acrobat Document",""). Shouldn't the file path show up in the formula? Office 2003, Acrobat 6.0 Pro , on WinXP Pro. Thanks for any advice. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond |

The =EMBED("Acrobat Document","") appears OK, that's what I get with the display. Have you tried the same with Acrobat 7.0 Reader loaded? (I seem to recall something about an incompatability with Acrobat 6.0) Dab Wrote: Hoping that someone can help with this. I'm trying to insert an Adobe Acrobat document into an Excel worksheet.
