In order to add a PDF file to your Word text file, you have to insert it as an object. When you add it as an object, it becomes a part of your Word file. This means the PDF file would be accessible even after you open it on other devices. You would be able to share the file with anyone, and the PDF file would be embedded in your word file. 

Follow the given below instructions to add a PDF file to your Word document:

  3. Now place the text cursor where you want to put the PDF.
  4. Then go to the Insert tab from the upper menu.
  5. Head to the Object option using the Text section.
  6. Choose the Object option from the drop-down list.
  7. A new Object named popup should trigger on the screen.
  8. Make your way to the “Create from File” tab from the upper options.
  9. Now press on the Browse button.
  10. Locate and select the PDF file you wish to add.
  11. Hit the Insert button to add it to your Word file.
  12. Now there are two checkbox options:
