Excel offers flexibility and versatility when you need to insert objects into your spreadsheet. These objects can further enhance or illustrate the points displayed by your Excel data. When inserting PDF objects, use the insert objects feature to place the object in the workbook with ease. Once the PDF is inserted, it can be viewed as an object or image. If you need to work with the PDF object, use the options available on the right-click menu.
Open Excel 2007 and select the “Insert” tab. Select “Object” from the “Text” group. The Object dialog box appears. Click the “Create from File” tab. Select the “Browse” button. Search your files to locate the PDF that you plan to insert. Click the file and select “Insert.” Click “OK.” Excel inserts the PDF into your document as an image.
Review the image of the PDF in your workbook. Open the PDF by right-clicking the image and select “Adobe Document Object.” Select “Open.” The PDF opens with Adobe in a separate Adobe window.
Insert PDF into Excel without Losing Quality. Using Enolsoft PDF Converter with OCR is, according to feedback from its users, the best way to preserve the original file quality when inserting a PDF into a spreadsheet.
Save your changes by clicking the “Save” icon the Quick Access Toolbar. The newly attached PDF is inserted as an attached image in your Excel workbook.

I have read many threads about this but still can't seem to find a solution for my needs. I am creating a large excel file with multiple tabs and I need one of the tabs to contain a PDF. I have tried going to insert - object - browse - found the PDF file but it imports very blurry and it's quite hard to read. I tried inserting the object/PDF as a 'link to file' and/or 'display as icon' and all that essentially does is insert a shortcut to the PDF so that only works if you're on the same computer you used to create the link. I need to be able to send this file to another computer and be able to access the PDF somehow. Is this possible? Am I going to have to buy Adobe's ability to convert PDFs to .xls? Thank you all in advance.
Best,
