MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / January 2004Embedding PDF documents ina word file
Does anyone know how to embed a PDF document into a word file. The catch is that the file needs to be open as opposed to displaying it as a logo There is no filter that enables Word to insert a PDF file - that's largely the point of PDF. You may be able to cut and paste the text, or you could use SnagIt to print the PDF to a series of images, or you may be able to use OCR software to convert the PDF to text, or with the full version of Acrobat you may be able to save in an editable format. Much depends on the security options set in the PDF file.

The reason that I'm trying to embed PDF's is because I need to insert documents as appendices to large tenders. When I do this as a word doc the appendix takes on the styles of the rest of the document, which can cause a formatting problem as most of the appendices I have to insert have to be published in particular fonts and styles. I have tried to insert section breaks to see if the styles won't carry through, but had no luck. Any other suggestions???

Every unique paragraph type should have its own style. A simple method would be to create a set of paragraph styles for your tenders that have unique style names and are not based on other styles. These styles would then be unaffected by any documents you append, and as the appended documents don't have the documents styles, they would be unaffected by the tender styles. If these documents are appendices, why not simply refer to them in the tender and print the documents separately. Then they are completely unconnected. Keep the files for a particular tender in a dedicated folder to avoid confusion later.

That would be my suggestion as well. The alternative would be to save each page of the appendix as a graphic and insert it as such, which would hugely increase the file size. -- Suzanne S.
