@Kyle Johnson2/">@@Kyle Johnson2: thanks, I'll look into that too. 😉

It’s not really my area of expertise, so I’m honestly not sure if a PDF to Word conversion would actually work here. It depends on what kind of documents we're talking about, I guess. A friend of mine was asking me about this because they couldn't find any answers, and I tried searching for it myself but came up empty-handed. So, I eventually decided to just ask here. 😉

I'll give it a shot, thanks 🙂

Great, thanks. I'll look into it. 🙏

Kyle Johnson2 said:You should probably try splitting that main PDF document into separate parts using some kind of program, and then you can insert each part as an Object into Word.
- Take a look at this file where I embedded a PDF that I split into two sections since it had two pages, then inserted each file as an object in Word (treating one page of the PDF as its own individual file).

But you're going to need specific software for that.

Do you have any suggestions on which one to use? 🤔
Maybe there’s some software out there that can chop up a PDF and then automatically pull it into a doc? Or maybe this could be handled through a macro? (I haven't messed around with this before, but I guess it's never too late to learn something new.)

The thing is, doing the splitting and the inserting manually just isn't an option; these documents are way too massive to be merging them by hand.

I have two separate issues here. They aren't related, so an all-in-one solution won't work for me.
Word

1. I need to insert a PDF into Word (2007) BUT in a way where every single page actually shows up.
From what I've dug up, Word doesn't seem capable of this—either people don't know how, or I just haven't found anyone who does. 🤔
Is there any way to actually pull this off? Maybe using other software, some kind of workaround, or magic? 😁

To be clear, we aren't talking about small 5-6 page files. We're talking about a main document with dozens of pages, where I need to embed several PDF documents that also have dozens of pages each. So, splitting the PDF manually page by page and inserting them one by one? Nope, that isn't a viable solution. 😢

Also, the main document has its own headers and footers that need to repeat throughout the whole thing. These PDF pages can obviously be slightly smaller, but they really need to fit in properly.

2. The second issue is double numbering.
Basically, I want the header to show the current page number out of the total page count for the entire document,
while the footer shows the page number within the specific section / total pages in that section.

Searching on Google hasn't helped much, because I just keep hitting a wall of "how to handle numbering when you have multiple sections"... which is not at all what I'm looking for.
The fields I see under the header & footer tools/design > insert > quick parts regarding numbering are:

• Page (insert the number of the current page),
• SectionPages (insert the total number of pages in the section),
• NumPages (The number of pages in the document).

So, I just can't find the specific thing I actually want: the current page number within the section.

Any help?

If there's a link that addresses either of these, great. I don't want to write a novel here, but I just can't seem to find the right phrasing to make Google understand 🙂 what I am asking, and specifically that it IS NOT "how to continue numbering across sections." 🙂

I hope I've described my struggle clearly enough. 😢
Thanks for the help. 😉

People call them anti-stress balls, I guess. I checked at Turbo Limač, but they told me they’re out of stock. If anyone knows what the actual term is in English, let me know so I can just order some off eBay and be done with it.

Maybe try checking the kiosks at a local mall; sometimes you see those things there.
Actually, I suppose there are better and worse versions. The cheap version is basically just a balloon stuffed with flour. A better option would be an actual stress ball made of firmer material, which I guess would theoretically last longer.
