Embedding a PDF in a word document as a link and not an image?

Greetings community, my first post!

I am curious if there is a way to embed a pdf file into a word doc(2010) and have it show up as a link instead of the actual image.  Can the word document act as a container and store the pdf file within the link and then open the file (Assuming the user has Adobe or a similiar PDF reader already installed on the OS) after clicking on the link?

So basically, I have a word document that addresses a bunch of PDF files that I am supplying to a client of mine.  Typically, I just give references to the files and they can open the files themselves, but I am trying to find a way to embed all of the files in a single document.

Can anything like this be achieved or any ideas are welcome.

Thank you very much in advance to any or all who can halp me!

-Brian

    In Word, click the Insert tab, and then click the Object button. On the Create from File tab, click Browse and locate the PDF file you want to insert. Select "Link to file" and then click OK.

    Hello Brian,

    To accomplish this issue you may have to upload the file to OneDrive share them with permissions and then use those links in Word.

    I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.
