Preserve embedded objects when converting a Word File to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9












2















I thought this was a basic feature but I can't seem to find a solution:



If I want to convert a Word file which has other files embedded as an object to PDF, the embedded Word symbol is not clickable anymore - the file was not embedded. The current workaround is to add attachments afterwards. The problem is that I can't link those files with an icon. Do you know a solution to this issue?



Thanks for an answer!

          It looks like the best you can do when using Adobe Acrobat is to add a link to the icon with an action that executes a menu item. If you make this action open the Attachments panel then at least you'll be able to see the attachment.
