Insert PDF File

[Karen]

How can I insert a pdf file into a slide with PowerPoint 2003?

Thank you

Hi Karen - I'm not an expert with Power Point, but I use it on a daily basis
and haven't figured out a way yet. I usually end up selecting and copying
text or objects from the PDF file and pasting to Power Point. Or, if you
want a single slide to look exactly like 1 page of a PDF file, open the PDF
file and save it as a JPG, then insert the JPG into your slide. Good luck.
I'll be watching the boards and hopefully this will be answered and a better
solution is given!

Wendy' suggestions are correct. You can only copy and paste a pdf file into
PowerPoint. To make sure the quality of the image you are copying to PPT is
sufficient, enlarge the Adobe view to a point that is larger that what you
want in your PPT.

Copying and pasting can make for a large file size. Saving it as a jpg. may
reduce the file size. To be sure edit your file size in photo editing
software like Paint or Photoshop.

Let me know if this helps.

What you can do is this:
Insert>>>Object>>>Adobe Acrobat Document
With image of document on slide, select>>>Action setting>>>Object Action
"open"
This way you can put an image of the PDF file in the presentation with a
link to the full PDF that will open in Acrobat Reader.
Hope this helps!!!

See http://www.pdf2picture.com for a $59 tool that converts PDF to the
Windows picture format, WMF. Vector graphics, raster images and font
text strings are all supported and reproduced as such. Meaning, you can
ungroup and edit the content in PowerPoint, and you'll retain
high-resolution printing and optimal display quality at any scale size
and zoom level. Free eval is available.
