Enable the Acrobat reader embed video icon in MS Word 2007




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.
