hi all,
I have a problem. I made a word document that has a pdf file linked into it as an icon. So whenever I click on the icon in my word document, it opens up the pdf file attached to it. However, when I convert my word document to a PDF, the icon remains in the document but I cannot click on it to open the old pdf as I could while it was a word document. Is there some way of attaching a pdf to another pdf, so that it opens the attachment when i click on the icon in my original document?
Thanks,

Hi --

Your PDF file needs to be relinked. Select the Link Tool from the Advanced Editing toolbar. Draw a link over the icon and follow the dialog box prompts to locate and reattach the file.
