Thomas Rowan Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi guys I have a Word .DOCX file with an embedded .PDF. On my office PC, with Adobe installed, if I can right click on the object in Word and select 'Adobe Document Object | Open'. However, on my personal PC, where I have Nitro Pro installed, there is no Open option available; there's a 'Convert' option but it doesn't successfully do anything. (Other difference: my office PC has Word 2010, my personal one is Word 2016.) Any ideas on how to be able to open a PDF object embedded in a .DOCX file, using Nitro Pro? Thanks in advance - TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power User Steven Zakulec Posted February 14, 2018 Power User Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I just tried reproducing this, and I had no difficulties. I took a normal .docx file, did Insert Object, and choose From File. I picked a PDF, and hit okay. I was then able to open the PDF embedded in the Word document by double clicking on it. Windows then asked me if I was sure I wanted to open the PDF file with Nitro, and I told it yes. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Nitro 11.0.7.425, and Word 2016. I didn't try right-clicking on the object, just double clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Rowan Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks Steven. I've looked a little further, and it seems the problem I am experiencing is how Word embeds objects. I received the file from someone who had Adobe on their machine, and when they embedded the .PDF it was associated with specifically Adobe. Now on this machine, since I don't have Adobe installed, Word gives up rather than using the default application associated with .PDF files. Since I have a work around (using a different PC), I haven't looked into it far enough to find a full solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hegi Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm having the exact same problem. I'm unable to open DocX embedded PDF documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
