Transferring PDFs into a Word document
Hello everyone,
I am a technological dinosaur and need help putting PDFs into a word document. Basically I have a document that is about 70 pages long and I need to add some PDFs that consist of graphs and charts to the end of it. I am running into two problems when I try to add them via the "Objects" function: First, several of the graphs/charts aren't coming in nicely. They aren't lined up with the file correctly, the writing on them is illegible, and some of them run off the right side of the word document. Second, I am trying to transfer a PDF that is 7 pages long to the document, but it only transfers the first page. Can anyone please advise me as to how I can get this to transfer better? Thanks in advance! |

Word 2007 is not compatible with PDF format, so you cannot open the PDF in Word. Word 2013 does have some PDF conversion ability, but there is no guarantee that it will maintain the format, and in most instances it won't.
Objects cannot span pages, so when you insert as an object you can only insert the first page of a PDF. There is no easy answer to this issue. If you want the charts and drawings, I would be inclined to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and copy the charts to a graphics editor. I would use the SnagIt editor, which I have to hand as it is so useful, but there are others. You can then crop the images as required and insert them as images into the document. Adobe Reader (certainly Reader 11) has an option to export to a Word document. I doubt that this would be any more successful, but you can try it. The better alternative is to get the original files from which the PDF was created. PDF is not meant to be edited, it is a format for viewing primarily.
