i try to insert pdf file to my excel file
in Insert>Object>Create from file>Browse the pdf file

there an message appear when opening the inserted file-"Cannot start the
source application for this object"

What does it means?
 
Do you have Adobe Reader install on your machine. If not that is wha
the message is taking about. The insert object needs the applicatio
that created or that can read the file you are attempting to insert.

i have a adobe reader installed. this error always pop up when i opened the
inserted pdf.
i can open the pdf but the error always pop up.
 
This is not an Excel problem, but I will give you two suggestions.
In My Computer or Windows Explorer
GO>TO>TOOLS>FILE TYPES and scroll down in the Registered file types for
PDF extention and make sure the Adobe Acrobat is listed beside it. If
not highlight PDF and hit the CHANGE button and choose Adobe Acrobat
from the program list, this may solve your problem.
If that doesn't fix the problem or the correct file association was
already there. I would uninstall and reinstall adobe acrobat. Just in
case it is a registry problem.
Other than that I am at the limit of my knowledge.
