Insert PDF content onto a slide

“

- [Instructor] While it currently isn't possible to embed PDF files into your slides in the same way as you can embed image files, you can insert PDFs into your slides as objects so that when clicked, your PDF will open in your default PDF viewing application. First, make sure your PDF is not currently open and that it's saved where you want on your computer. Then in PowerPoint, select the slide you want to add the PDF to, then go to the Insert tab, and click the Object button. In the window that opens, select Create from file, then Browse for your PDF file. (mouse clicks) Then click OK. Your PDF then appears in your slide as an object and you're free to adjust its size and location. Note that it's quality is reduced when using this method, but either while editing or while in slideshow mode, you can double click the image to view the full PDF in your default PDF viewing application.
