    Default Linking to external office documents

    Is there a way to somehow embed an office document into a PDF so when a link is clicked it opens the document.

    Right now I have it setup so the like points to an external path that the user will need access to in order to see the document.

    What is the best solution to ensure it the document will be available no matter who I send it to?

    Thanks

    The answer is yes and no.

    Technically, yes. The PDF format enables what you wish.

    HOWEVER, Acrobat doesn't enable that feature - so no, you can't get what you want :(.
