Hi userman,

You can embed PDFs as icons in Word documents. Their names will display and, when double-clicked on, they'll open in a new window, using an application like Adobe Reader. PDFs cannot open directly in any Office application. When you have the PDF open, you can scroll around it, copy etc (if the PDF security allows it).

As for "I want to save all such pdf files I insert to the doc file, as original files in a folder same as the filename.doc", these two things are mutually exclusive; either you have the PDFs stored in the same folder, with links from the Word document, or you save them in the Word document.

isnt really a plugin or something, or even another program (text, word processor, etc) that will let me open pdf files inside it?

thanks

No. Unless the end user has Adobe Reader or an equivalent program installed, they will not be able to access the embedded object. The same consideration applies to any other kind of embedded object.

ofcourse it is no problem that the end user must have some kind of pdf reader/editor!!!

MS Word (or another text editor, word processor, etc) will use the default pdf viewer to display the pdf, but the pdf must be displayed inside MS Word (or that word processor) in a view pane!

is that possible?

can we utilize either macros assigned to inserted pdfs inside a doc file, or utilize this:

I dont know how, but maybe it could run a cmd to display the pdf? in a tooltip or a pane or if not possible, in a window at the right, tiled vertically with the MS Word window
