We have Office 10.0 for Mac. We have a Word document
created in the PC version with the capability of embedding
a pdf file in the document. When we try to open the
embedded object it does not work. Does anyone have any
idea? A setting not correct? Thanks for any help.

Well, you probably need to update, first of all.

im running 10.1.4 microsoft word for the mac OS X, and i still can't
open embedded pdf files. I get a error message saying "word cannot
edit the AcroExch.Document." Anyone have a clue on what to do to
extract the pdf file.

I gave it a try and the PDF file I had in my Word document appeared as
an image. I'm not sure you can really "extract it". Actually, I'm not
even sure the entire PDF file gets embeded in the document. I suspect
Word only has the PDF preview... What exactly are you trying to do with
the PDF file from your Word document ???

The error message means that your system does not have an association for
the TYPE and Creator codes for PC PDF.

Choose Open With, choose Preview, and choose Change all.
