Insert pdf doc into Word doc?

[looter]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: intel

I am trying to insert a 3 page pdf document into a 2004 Word for Mac doc. If I insert as a picture or drag and drop, I can only see the last page of the pdf in my Word doc.

What is the best and easiest way to insert a multipage pdf (as graphic or picture or whatever) into a 2004 Word for Mac (11.3.8) document?

Thanks

First of all, you should be made aware that Word 2004's support of PDF is
more than weak, which is why I would not recommend using this file format.
Things have improved a bit with Office 2008, but then again, I don't believe
Word 2008 supports multipage PDFs, either. I would simply suggest converting
the PDF into separate image files in either TIFF or PNG file format and then
inserting the required picture into Word. Apple's Preview, part of Mac OS X,
lets you do the conversion (File>Save as).

Further to Corentin's reply...

Keep in mind that any time you insert any kind of multipage object ino a
Word document you are actually inserting the *file* not the *content* of the
file. Similar to an Excel workbook, the only content that displays is what's
on top of the "stack" of pages contained in that file. Even if you insert
another multipage Word doc as an object you don't have access to the
interior pages of it unless you actually open the embedded file. IOW -In
order to see the other pages the file has to be opened by a compatible
application.

Also If you own Acrobat go to Document Menu > Extract pages and extract
each page and save each as a separate file.

then insert each one at a time into word. See if that works. little more
time and little more complex but might get the job done.

Be sure to hit return to all a Paragraph break between so the don't run
together side by side.

Ok. Sounds like Preview is the way to go. Either way. I don't own Acrobat. But Preview will let you parse a PDF into multiple PDFs using the print as PDF dialogue. Takes a few steps. Maybe TIFF or PNG is the best way to go though, still with Preview.

Thanks for the responses!

If you don't own acrobat forget it.
Unless your using OSX.5 you might be able to there. I've heard you can
do more things with pdf than you could with previous versions of OSX.

Another program That doesn't cost as much that might, is PDFpen I
believe its under the Smith Micro Bandwagon now. They now own stuffit
Deluxe.

In Office 2008 you can choose "Insert | Picture | From File..." and when
choosing a Multi-page PDF you'll get a dialog asking you which page you'd
like to insert.

Obviously you'll have to do this 3 times to get all 3 pages.

This is not possible in 2004 unfortunately unless you follow previous
suggestions of breaking the PDF into separate files.

Well, who knew? thanks, Matt. Nice preview, too--although, the Next
Page, Prev Page arrows are just blank boxes for me. (OS 10.4.11, Office
12.0.1, PPC)

Not sure about a Mac all by itself. But you can use VMFusion to run a Windows version. Then you can insert multiple pages from a PDF into Word using Insert_PDFs (to Word) from www.OfficeExpander.com

This works right from Word (Office 2000-2010) using an Insert PDFs button. There is a free version that inserts a couple of pages from a PDF. You can also resize all the inserted images.

Cheers.

I recently bought an application from Smith Micro called PDF2Office. It
seems to be able to convert PDF files to Microsoft Office documents. My
problem is that I do not understand how it works. Maybe I am just
getting too old to grasp details.

Nevertheless, I was able to convert over one megabyte of my medical
records from an encrypted pdf to unencrypted Microsoft Word. Don't ask
me how I did it because I would not be able to give a rational response.
