I have never used it, but Acrobat has a PDF "portfolio" feature that lets you package other documents with the PDF. Perhaps it would have some use for you. Mike Wickham On 8/2/2017 9:29 AM, John Posada wrote: Hi, Steve...and everyone. I have no issues with the process of placing the

Hi, Steve...and everyone. I have no issues with the process of placing the attachment somewhere (in our case, Share Point) and linking to it with a URL...I do hundreds of these to files on SP and my issue isn't wanting to click an icon rather than a link. In this case, I didn't want to do a link

What about just including an appropriate icon as an image (so the Excel worksheet symbol, for example), and hyperlinking it to the external file in the same way one would add a URL? I haven't tried it out myself, so just a thought. I did a quick google (I'm not currently using FrameMaker, so

Acrobat supports embedding attachments in PDF: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/links-attachments-pdfs.html The closest FrameMaker counterpart is using File > Import > Object to embed an entire file as an OLE object, as you're doing. I'm not sure whether converting embedded OLE objects to

I need to embed some Excel and Word documents as ICONS into my FM docs that when PDF'd remain as attachments that can be clicked and will open. All my experiences with FM11 are when PDF's, the attachment icons turn into inert graphic icons. Is there a way? -- John Posada Rock portfolio:
