Linking a pdf file from Excel
I need to link pdf files from Excel 2002. When I try to do this, it flashes
the adobe window but then closes it right away. The pdf's were created from word documents and are for viewing only. I can't convert my excel file to pdf as I need users to be able to sort the data using filters I've put into the worksheet. Is there a way that dates can be automatically updated in a protected Word 2002 document without unprotecting it? I am trying to set up a library of documents for users but ensure that they cannot edit them, I would like to have a 'valid on' date (which would be the current date the document is open) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you! |

Maybe it's not excel. A few people complained that the Reader appeared and then
disappeared. So make sure you have the latest version of the softwa http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...13&fileID=2551 Lissa wrote: I need to link pdf files from Excel 2002.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, it's a glitch in Acrobat, you do
need the latest version for the links to work. Thanks a lot for your response, it led me in the right direction..... Lissa "Dave Peterson" wrote: Maybe it's not excel.
