Default 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

tlee

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.

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.
