My work computer was updated over the weekend, and I work extensively with embedding PDFs in Excel. Now, I can't embed PDFs in Excel, and I also get the error message "The source program for this object cannot be started." What can I do to resolve this?

    Hi Linda Olsson1,

    Greetings!

    Thank you for publishing in Microsoft Community. 

    We understand that you need help with embedding PDFs in your Excel. I would like to ask few questions that can help with my research here.

    • May I ask if this file was shared or you created this file?
    • Is there file path that you can see on your PDF?
    • Can you locate the file?
    • Is it happening on other files or new file?

    For the meantime, you may try my suggestions below:

    1. Make sure the Excel is up to date.
    2. You can try to recreate the entire file to see if the issue still persist.

    We look forward for your response.

    Regards,
