Placing PDFs as linked files in other documents

You can incorporate PDFs into other types of files that support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), such as InDesign or Word files. These files are called OLE container documents. Later, if you make changes to the original PDF, the OLE features in the container application can update the embedded file in the container document, reflecting your changes to the original PDF.

Do one of the following:

• Choose the OLE container application’s Insert Object command or Insert Hyperlink command.

• In Acrobat, choose Edit > Copy File To Clipboard, and then choose the Paste Special command in the container application.
