To do so, you need to first open the Excel workbook and save it as an HTML file. Once saved as HTML, open the newly created HTML document in your web browser and navigate to the Insert tab in the ribbon bar at the top of your screen. From there, select \u2018Object\u2019 which will bring up a box where you can browse for any files (including PDFs) that you want to insert into your spreadsheet. Selecting \u2018OK\u2019 once done will embed the file within your sheet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_insert_a_PDF_into_an_Excel_table\"><\/span>How do I insert a PDF into an Excel table?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_drag_and_drop_a_PDF_into_Excel\"><\/span>Can you drag and drop a PDF into Excel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can drag and drop a PDF into Excel. To do this, first open an Excel file on your computer. Then locate the PDF file that you want to import and drag it from its current location into your open Excel document. The data in the PDF will be converted into an editable spreadsheet format so that you can use it as needed within your workbook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_attach_a_document_in_Excel\"><\/span>How do you attach a document in Excel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Attaching a document to an Excel file is a straightforward process. To attach a document to your Excel file, you need to first save the document in an appropriate format such as PDF or Microsoft Word.

Click on &#8216;Object&#8217; and then select &#8216;Create from File&#8217;. You will be prompted with a dialogue box where you can browse for and select your desired attached file.

For Microsoft Office 365, there is an option to open and edit PDF files directly from within Excel. To do this, simply open your Excel application, select File &gt; Open and choose the desired PDF file.  Once opened, you can use options such as \u2018Edit Document\u2019 or \u2018Convert to Spreadsheet\u2019 to work with the data contained within the document. If you have an older version of Excel (prior to Office 365), then it may not be possible to open a PDF directly from within Excel but there are some third-party tools available that enable you to convert PDFs into spreadsheets format so they can be opened in earlier versions of Microsoft Office programs like Word or PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_insert_a_PDF_into_Excel_in_Office_365\"><\/span>How do I insert a PDF into Excel in Office 365?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Inserting a PDF into an Excel file in Office 365 can be done using the Insert Object feature.
