Are you missing the Acrobat Reader Embed Video icon in Word 2007 insert menu? Previously I wrote a tutorial on how to embed video into Word 2007 and convert it to PDF. So many people responded on the website and on Youtube asking where their embed video icon was? “I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat and Word 2007, why can’t I see the embed video icon?” That’s what they were saying…Well I really had no idea because I had one and didn’t have a problem. Anyway it annoyed me that so many people had this problem so I search for an answer, which in the end, turned out to be an easy solution.
What you need to have a Embed Video icon in Word 2007?
- You need Microsoft Word 2007 installed on your computer.
- You also need a full version of Adobe acrobat reader. Not the free version.
How to enable the Acrobat Reader embed video icon in Word 2007?
1. Open Word 2007 and go to the round office icon in the left top corner.
2. Open the menu and go to the bottom and choose Word Options. See the screen shot below.
3. Click on Add ins in the left bar.
4. Now you can see if your Adobe Acrobat reader is an active application or a disabled application.
5. If your Adobe is under the disabled application section move down to the manage section at the bottom of the window.
6. From the drop down menu choose disabled items.
7. A small box will appear. Choose the application you want to enable by making it blue.
8. Then press the enable button.
9. Restart the program to see that the Adobe Acrobat add video icon is there now..

Hi Mitz,
Thanks for your response.
I was able to find a simple hack which helps me embed a youtube video in word file and i have written about it here at my blog:
http://am22tech.com/s/22/Blogs/post/2011/08/16/How-To-Embed-YouTube-Video-In-MS-Word-File.aspx
But the main purpose of seeing that video in a PDF file is still not completed. When i generate the PDF file from this word file (which contains the embedded youTube video), it only pastes the snapshot of the video in PDF file.
I don;t have the full paid version of Adobe acrobat and hence can’t use the option that you have written about.
Do you know of any PDF generating software (FREE) which can help me create PDF directly with embedded youtube videos?

Hi,
I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat and Word 2007. The embed video icon is not showing up, but it’s active in the add-in section. Is there anything else I can try to get the embed video button to appear in Word?
Thanks,
Leanne

Maybe you could try re-starting or disabling and re-enabling it?

Hi Mitz,
Thanks for your reply. I’ve already tried restarting. How would I go about disabling and re-enabling it? I don’t seem to be able to do that.
Thanks,
Leanne
