Inserting a PDF file into an Outlook message: Comp gurus!

Jill, Allison, any computer whizzes. I have a PDF file I want to insert into the body of an Outlook message (not as an attachment). There is no IS support where I work. Can one of you gurus tell me how to do this? I have Adobe Pro version 9

I just opened a random PDF file, copy and pasted the text of the file into the body field of an Outlook email and it pasted fine with all the formatting intact. What version of MS Office/Outlook are you using?

Cutting and pasting may not get you all the fancy formatting but it should get the text in the body. I think it may depend on the permission of the PDF as to what copies and what doesn't. Click on the PDF, click control+a, control+c and then go over to your email message window and press control+v. That should get it in there.
Highlight, copy and paste pulls over just the text, not the pictures. What I was needing to insert had several pictures and graphics. I found someone here who helped me. Highlight the whole thing, then use the snapshot feature to capture, and paste into Outlook. Before that, I tried saving as HTML which gave me only the text, as did saving it as a Word document.

Another skill learned!
Ok, if you're using a full version of Acrobat, there is a Camera command in one of the pull-downs, I believe its the Tools pull-down. This is used just like you'd do the text copy and paste,only it allows you to grab everything on the PDF. It's basically doing a mini screen-shot. Try that.

That's exactly what I did Vance. Worked like a charm.
Cool, glad to help.
