Does {includetext} limit the file types?
{includetext} fails to support PDF.
If it’s the case, how to insert a pdf file into a DOCX?
Thanks in advance.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 1, 2009 at 12:47 am #1179440Basically, INCLUDETEXT works with the file type that you can open in Word as listed in the Files of type dropdown in the Open dialog – Word documents, text files, HTML files, RTF files, etc.
PDF files cannot be opened in Word, so they cannot be used with INCLUDETEXT.You can include a PDF file as an object in Word. Only the first page will be displayed, but the user can double-click the object to view it in their PDF viewer.
To insert an object:
– Activate the Insert tab of the ribbon.
– In the Text section, click Object.
– Click Create from file.
– Click Browse…
– Select the file, then click Insert.
– If you want to create a link to the source file, tick the Link to file check box.
– Click OK. -

Nonetheless, the image quality is horrible.For the sake of closure, this problem is resolved in the thread: How to Preserve Image Quality (Word).

Indeed, it’s the perfect conclusion. Thanks.
