1476879 2021-04-30 23:07:00 Hi
Google says insert... text .. object .. file .. pdf
My Onlyoffice and MS Office versions have no option on insert toolbar to do this.
Any hints please?

1476881 2021-05-01 03:42:00 doesn't seem to be an option on the free ware I'm using cowboy stu (7021)
1476882 2021-05-01 05:12:00 doesn't seem to be an option on the free ware I'm using If its the Online you are using then NO it wont, that's a cut down version. Earlier paid versions Of Office may or may not have the option.

The paid versions from MS have full options.

If you want a free Office Package that does allow the inserting, Freeoffice will do it. www.freeoffice.com

From textmaker (word) Insert - OLE Object Frame - You can select an existing PDF>

You select Adobe PDF then click on Create From File, browse to the PDF you want to insert from your computer, OK. it embeds it into the Document as a Icon.


If you install Free office 1st thing I suggest is change the formats on all 3 programs to MS formats ( same paths on all) --- ( Text= Word , Plan Maker = Excel, Presentations = Power point).

You have to register to get the free Licence but that's no biggie.

1476884 2021-05-01 20:09:00 Maybe you should think about installing a free office version that does what you want. CliveM (6007)
1476885 2021-05-01 21:00:00 Just installed free office as I'm still using office 07, will run free for a while to see how I like it before uninstalling MS office gary67 (56)
1476886 2021-05-01 22:49:00 its all trade offs with free stuff isn't it. FreeOffice doesn't open files in tabs which I prefer so there you go.
I've got around it by taking a screenshot (bank statement in cashflow )in this case and inserting image instead of the pdf.
Next step paid program but hard to justify for my usage.

1476887 2021-05-01 23:27:00 FreeOffice doesn't open files in tabs which I prefer so there you go. Correct, the Free version doesn't but the paid one does. ( it says on their site)

You can open multiple documents in separate windows on the free version.
