Visio doesn't understand PDF format--so it is relying on the software you
have installed that registered itself for PDF format.
I suspect that you only have the Reader installed? I don't beleive the
Reader supports Object Linking and Embedding (that's what's happening
during Insert Object, Create from File). I am not sure if any Abobe PDF
product supports OLE--check their website.
Visio asked the application that registered for PDF to display a view, but
got the icon instead.

When i try to insert a PDF file as an object using "create
from file" the file appears as an icon, not the original
document as intented.
Is this a problem with Visio 2002 prof?
