From the “Insert” menu, selecting “Object” allows the MS Publisher user to insert an OLE “live” file
object into the document such as a PDF, Excel file, PowerPoint slide and so forth; much the same
way as the MS Word user does. Insert Object is generally supported with some exceptions...
• Objects are converted as graphic files and are not editable in InDesign or in their source
application.
• OLE features are not supported such as live link to file and auto updating; Mac or Windows.
• Objects are treated by Pub2ID like graphic elements and extracted to a folder. For the most
part the extracted Objects are converted as EMF (Enhanced Windows Metafiles) files and
loose their original file type. Some known exceptions being Bitmap files convert as PNG and
MS Word files as WMF.
Note: MS Publisher has no ability to extract any such inserted Object. Pub2ID extracted Objects
are given arbitrary names and do not retain the original name or file format.
The kind of Objects that can be inserted into a MS Publisher file depend largely on which
applications the MS Publisher user has installed on their machine, which also behave properly
with OLE. Not every conceivable Object or variable was tested. Objects that have been tested with
Pub2ID thus far are as follows:
1. PDF - PDFs exhibit variable results once placed in MS Publisher depending on how the PDF
was created in the first place. Pub2ID reproduces the PDF faithfully according to how well or
poorly MS Publisher handled the file.
2. Photoshop - Native PSD files from Photoshop v11.x were faithfully reproduced. Note: Unlike
placed graphics, the extracted file in this case IS affected by any scaling done in the MS
Publisher document. “Live” text and layers in the .psd may be a problem.
3. Bitmap - A sample BMP was faithfully reproduced, plus scaling effect as noted above.
4. Excel Worksheet - A sample .xls file faithfully reproduced layout and text.
5. PowerPoint Slide - A sample .ppt file faithfully reproduced text and placed graphics.
6. Visio Drawing - A sample .vsd file faithfully reproduced shapes, lines and connectors.
7. MS Word Page - A sample .doc file faithfully reproduced text, table and placed graphics.
