Topic: PDF's

Can I insert or embed a PDF on a page? I have photos in PDF format.

Re: PDF's

You could use a Document Frame.

Insert > Document Frame > Contents > File and browse for your pdf. Check the 'embed file' box and you may also need to check the '... convert to a web compatible image' box.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure.

Re: PDF's

Thanks - that works, sort of.

Unfortunately the document frame doesn't fill with the document, it just stays as when you are placing it, a box with the file name in, so it is difficult to size it correctly so the Windows? PDF reader fits; it looks disconcerting, and you can't remember what it is displaying. 'Refresh preview' button bottom right doesn't do anything. I guess I am going to have to convert them all to JPG's.

What are the dimensions of pdf? Is it smaller than the size of the iframe or have you not expanded the iframe to the size of the pdf?
