Cannot open the Insert object (Pdf file) form Excel 2000(9.0.8968 SP-3)
 

Dear All,

I am no idea why I cannot open the embedded object (Pdf file) inside Excel
file which using Windows ME.

Once clicked the object icons, then it shows the error message likes

" the embedded object cannot be opened by the source application"

I used the Adobe reader 6.01 as the source application.

Actually, I searched the related forum from the Internet. However, I cannot
solve the problem.

Anyone helps?

Thanks

Hi,

I can't test 2000 in ME, but it works fine in 2003 under XP.

You have to convert it to Excel format.

Adobe Reader v6.01 isw old, and is *very* vulnerable. Those vulnerabilities are actively
being exploited in the wild !

Chances are the PDF is a greater version than v6.x can handle.

You *need* to upgrade to both a new OS and Adobe Reader v9.0

Isn't 9.0 the version with the currently exploited vulnerability? And as yet
unknown whether 10 has the same?

Also an unpatched Excel vulnerability, last I heard!

For the latest PDF vulnerability, Adobe Security Bulletin APSA09-01, all are vulnerable.
There is no v10 and v6 will not be patched.

I'm not sure about a current Excel vulnerability albeit there may be one.

Or do his computer a favour and install Foxit PDF Reader instead, much
smaller footprint and works equally well if not better g

FoxIt is now crippleware and acting badly like adware and requiring the installation of an
Ask Toolbar.
If you choose not to install the Ask Toolbar, FoxIt is crippled.

I am using an older version I guess.....but my Foxit is not crippled nor
is it asking for a Toolbar (pun not intended, grin).

Just checked it and it is Version 2.0, Build 0930.

I use it fairly frequently for jewellery designs, etc. And it works
just fine. It did ask for something recently, but I said NO, and it
worked just fine.

I think all of us who used WinME for years are wary of adding stuff to
programs, etc. I will admit to it myself......but it is a hard to break
habit.

I would assume that www.oldversion.com just might have this version.
