Unable to Insert PDF Objects into a Powerpoint

Hello!

I'm having a problem and I am unable to resolve this.  I have installed Adobe Reader X. In PowerPoint file when I try to insert a PDF (Insert Tab-> Object-> Create From File), I get the following error:

"The Server Application, source file, or item cannot be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application."

Previously, I got this error when choosing "Create New" from the Object menu also, but following the instructions about Protected mode at the link below seems to have resolved that problem. Unfortunately, Create From File offers the 'link' functionality that is important to me.

I have tried removing our virus scanner (Quick Heal Total Security  11), and HP's Privacy Manager, then performing a Repair installation of Office. (both those items seem to be occasional culprits in problems similar to this) I haven't had any luck getting this to go away yet though.  I was hoping I might find some help here, thanks!

Dear HenrynnI am having the exact same issue. I am on XP running Office12 (Office 2007). nnInterestingly enough I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader 10 yesterday and this is the first time I have seen this problem. n nI emailed the two files to a colleague who has the same OS, same Office version, and on an older version of Acrobat Reader and they were able to attach the file without issue. n nPossible Reader X problem?

Hello EddienThis problem is occurred due to the protection mode of Adobe Reader X. nnTo Disable protected mode manually by choosing Edit > Preferences > General tab and deselecting Enable Protected Mode.

Tried disabling the protected mode in Adobe Reader x. But it didn't worked. So I rebooted System and ran repair on office 2010 but still am experiencing the same error. nWin 7 64, office 2010 32 but also on XP Pro with office 2010 32. Maybe there should be a registry key to kill?

Hi EddiennYou can use 3rd party Tool to Remove Protected mode and PDf restrictions from a third-party vendor PDF Unlocker. To see How it works please go to the following links How it worksnnPlease notify me when it's done. nnThanks
