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
tlee
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

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.
