Hi,

I too experience the same problem, therefore I follow the procedure
mentioned below. It works seemlessly.

Do the following:

1. On the Insert menu, click Object. The Object dialog box is displayed.
2, Click the Create from File Tab.
3. Click the Browse button. Then select your .PDF document from
your local machine.
4. In the Browse dialog box, click the Insert button to return to the Object
dialog box.
5. Click the Link to File and Display as Icon check boxes if you want the
document to be displayed as an icon with the path of the document file or
just clear the Link to File and Display as Icon check boxes and adjust the
corners to to your requirement.
