When instances come where PDF documents need to be combined with a Word file, one way to do it is to insert the PDF file in Word. Though this seems a tedious and complicated task, this can easily be done by using the advanced options found in the program.
Why you need to import your PDF in a Word file?
Inserting a PDF can be useful for different situations, mostly for the reader’s convenience. Embedding the necessary PDF file allows you to showcase documents or provide reference that showcases the document but doesn’t necessarily show too much. Specifically, this is good for those who are unsure how much content should be included in Word document.
How to insert PDF to Word?
You can do this in three different ways. One, there is the option of using the advanced features of MS Word. Two, you can also convert your file from PDF into an image file. Three, the last option is to convert PDF into a Word file. These three ways can be accomplished easily in just a few steps. Let’s take a look at the first option – using MS Word.
Step one: Open Word document that you wish to use.
Step two: Click the “Insert” from the tabs and select “Object.” This will enable you to insert files.
Step three: Select “PDF” from the pop-up window then click “Ok”
Step four: Choose the file that you wish to insert and you will find that it will appear on the word file.
This method will bring about the first page of the document and insert it where you place the cursor. There’s also an alternative to inserting this file and this method will only insert the file icon which has a link to the file. Follow these steps to create this icon.
Step one: Open Word document that you want to use.
Step two: Click “Insert” from the tabs and select “Object” again.
Step three: This time, instead of choosing PDF, select “Create from file” tab and browse for the file you wish to insert then click “Ok.”
Step four: Save your work.
If copying a text is just what you need, then inserting PDF may not be the best option for you. You can simply just copy-paste the text from the machine-readable PDF or convert it into a Word file.
Trivia: Did you know that you could open a machine-readable PDF file as a Word document, allowing you to edit content in the Word processor? It can do so with Word 2013 and 2016 versions. How does it work? The Word processor recognizes the content and extracts it from a fixed-format to a .doc format in individual characters while keeping the same layout. Doesn’t always work though so when it fails, this is when you need a PDF to Word converter!

Why would I want to convert instead of inserting?
