But if you want the object to be viewable as an image, you have to use
Acrobat 7 reader and even then objects cannot span pages, so you will only
see the first page? Another possibility is to convert the PDF to image (or
images) using e.g. SnagIt 8 (www.techsmith.com) which has a 'printer driver'
that will output any application to virtually any graphics format. You can
them import the images just like any other. There is a demo of SnagIt that
you can try.
