    Insert / Embed PDF in Excel

    I have read many threads about this but still can't seem to find a solution for my needs. I am creating a large excel file with multiple tabs and I need one of the tabs to contain a PDF. I have tried going to insert - object - browse - found the PDF file but it imports very blurry and it's quite hard to read. I tried inserting the object/PDF as a "link to file" and/or "display as icon" and all that essentially does is insert a shortcut to the PDF so that only works if you're on the same computer you used to create the link. I need to be able to send this file to another computer and be able to access the PDF somehow. Is this possible? Am I going to have to buy Adobe's ability to convert PDFs to .xls? Thank you all in advance.

    Best,
    Grant

    There is a workaround. Open your PDF file, use Print Screen (Alt+PrintScrn), Copy (Ctrl+C) open Paint application ( comes with any windows os) and paste it (Ctrl+V) in Paint, Use Crop to select, copy and paste it in Excel.
