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
