Cannot open the Insert object (Pdf file) form Excel 2000(9.0.8968 SP-3)
From: "tlee"
| 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 -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

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. Heather |

Yes, Flash is the one at 10.x, isn't it. Getting a little confused there! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02...vulnerability/ Haven't tried this one (mainly because I ditched Adobe Reader ... ago!): http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02...l_adobe_patch/ I'm not sure about a current Excel vulnerability albeit there may be one. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/25/excel_trojan/ BTW I kept using Acrobat/Reader for some time because I cared *less* for Foxit. But finally I'd had enough, and I used both Sumatra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra_PDF) and Foxit. I keep pretty much up with Foxit, and have not been impressed by the Ask bar - though you get that with Nero too (at least in 7.x). However, I have Foxit 3.0 build 1301, and I haven't found any problems with it without the toolbar. It is less pleasing to the eye though. |

OK - just d/l'd and installed Foxit 3.0
If you don't let it install the Ask Toolbar, then it won't let you use @typewriter tools, Text viewer, and Text Converter@ - whatever they are. Since I've never heard of them until now, and can't see what earthly use they'd be to me for reading PDF files, then I don't care about about not having them. For god's sake, David - it's not as if Foxit is disabling the ability to read PDF files!!!! What I do mind more is that they try and sneak a quick install of eBay links after you've already dis/allowed the Ask ones. -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "David H.
