Asked By monica lewis 20 points N/A Posted on - 01/18/2012

I need help in embedding a PDF file into my Microsoft Excel 2007. I recently installed Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed on my computer running with Windows 7. After that I could no longer embed a PDF file into an Excel Sheet. I hope somebody can help me with my issue.

Adobe Acrobat Reader X prevents embedding PDF file in Excel 2007

Hi Monica,

Please do try to amend the settings on your Adobe Reader X. Try to go to Edit option > look for Preferences option > look for General option. Look for the settings that says ‘Enabled Protected Mode at Startup’ and turn it off.

You can also try to go to Insert option > look for Object tab > look for Create from File option > look for the .pdf file option then check the display as icon option. Repeat this process for the pictures you need.  If you are using website, you can change the .pdf files with web-stored files.
