Importing a PDF into Powerpoint 2003

[dingpud]

I am working on a presentation and am having some troubles in getting a drawing which is in pdf format to appear on a slide. I would like to get the entire pdf image to open onto the slide, no need to edit it, and would like to do this without needing to click on a pdf icon.

Powerpoint help menu says that I can do this and also gives me a method, but it does not work.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks

Method given to me from Microsoft.....

"From the main menu bar, choose Insert, Object. The Insert Object dialog box appears.
In the Insert Object dialog box, click "Create from file" .
Click Browse.
Choose the PDF you want to insert.
PowerPoint embeds the PDF and displays an Adobe Acrobat icon.
Rightclick the icon and choose Action Settings. The Action Settings dialog box appears.
In the Action Settings dialog box, click "Object action" and choose "Edit".
Click OK.

I just tried this in PPT 2003 and it worked fine.

Can you make sure that you DO NOT have the "DISPLAY AS ICON" box checked when you insert the object?

Double checked the "DISPLAY AS ICON" and it did the same thing...slightly different format icon, but nonetheless, another icon.

I guess the only other way is to Printscreen, crop and paste.

Oh well.

I ended up using the "snapshot" feature from Adobe which worked well....

Thanks for the help though.
