How to Insert a PDF into PowerPoint as an Object

Using this strategy, you will be able to pull up your whole PDF in the middle of your PowerPoint presentation, which may be extremely helpful when it comes to providing data regarding the subject that you have chosen.

Before moving forward, check to see that your PDF is not currently open in any other application. If another software has the PDF open when PowerPoint is trying to use it, PowerPoint won’t be able to use it.

1. With the PowerPoint presentation you’ve chosen already open, navigate to the slide where you wish to put the PDF file.

2. Navigate to the tab labelled “Insert,” then click the “Object” button. If you do not see the Object choice, it may show up as a smaller icon that does not contain any text; it appears like a blue box that is contained within a white box. It will be accessible through the “Text” sub-menu when it is ready.

3. When the pop-up window displays, select “Create from file” from the list of options. After that, select “Browse,” look for the PDF file you want to use, and then click on it to open it. When you are done, make sure you hit the “OK” button.

4. Although you have successfully placed your PDF into your PowerPoint presentation at this point, there is still one more step that has to be completed before the slideshow will display the entirety of your PDF. After selecting the “Insert” tab, proceed to click on the “Action” button.

5. In the pop-up box that appears, select “Object action:,” and then select “Open” from the choice that appears below it. When you are done, make sure you hit the “OK” button.

You should now be able to click on the PDF’s icon within the slideshow presentation and have it automatically open.
