Hello:
I am working with tow files. One is excel and the other is Acrobat 8.0 reader. The Acrobat file has multi-page graphics with texts. The excel file has texts that are also in the Acrobat file. When I search for texts in the find box in the Acrobat file, Acrobat will zoom in on that text that I had entered in the find box. My question is the following: can I link any of the text in the excel file to the Acrobat file and have Acrobat automatically enter that text and generate a search so that it will automatically zoom in on the searched text in the excel file?
Your response is greatly appreciated

Hi Noah --

No, you can't. The simplest solution would be to have the Excel files converted to PDF and then they are readily searchable.
