How to Embed a PDF File in Excel

1. Select the cell in your Excel spreadsheet where you wish to embed a PDF. The PDF file will take up more than just one cell; select the cell you want the top left-hand corner of the file to appear. Click on the 'Insert Object' button in the Text group under the Insert tab. Highlight 'Adobe Acrobat Document' under Object type in the Object pop-up window .
2. Decide how you want your PDF to appear in your Excel document. If you want the PDF to appear as the first page of the PDF, simply click the OK button. If you want the PDF to appear as an icon, click the check mark labeled 'Display as Icon' and choose an icon using the 'Change Icon...' button or click 'OK' to accept the default Adobe Acrobat Document icon.
3. Navigate to the PDF you wish to embed in your Excel workbook in the Windows Explorer pop-up window. Double-click on the PDF file or click the 'Open' button after highlighting the PDF file to embed it in your Excel workbook.
4. Double-click on your embedded PDF or representative icon in Excel to access your embedded file.
