Is it possible to insert a PDF in PUB?

[Orrie]

Hi,

(Using Publisher 2003, Window XP SP3)

I am working on my club's newsletter, and have an opportunity to use content
material that is only available to us in PDF (Acrobat) format. The content
would be fractional page size, not full page. Is there any way to insert a
PDF into a Publisher publication - as a picture, within a text or graphic
box? And if it can be inserted, will it be possible to adjust the size?

Thank you.

Insert, Object...

Or a screen capture?

Thank you, Mary.

I found the screen capture alternative to be the easiest alternative, since
I could not insert a PDF as an Object, which requires the Office OLE Server.
Either OLE Server is no longer on my computer, or it's not working. I've
never need it before, so it could be gone.

For the screen capture, I used Windows Print Screen command, and it worked
pretty well, but then I had to do a lot of cropping and cleaning up. So, I
used SnagIt screen capture program, which gave more more control of the
final results, including a choice of file formats.

The converted graphic looks good in my publication.

Alternatively, you could try

This is slightly harder at first, but in the end requires less work and
gives you more control over the resolution.
