            Bug ID: 121455
           Summary: Embedded PDF files request/bug
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Description:
user request:
to embed one of more PDF files in one odt file.
So that the PDF(s) are displayed as hyperlinks (or icon's) and after clicking
the hyperlinks the PDF reader of the operating system opens the "embedded" PDF
document.
This way the embedded PDF files stays with the document, and you solve the
problem
of broken  network links, for example when a network linked PDF files get
renamed or removed.
Of course this means that the odt file will be bigger in size.

When I tried the import OLE object approach, it didn't work, after importing an
PDF file, when clicking on the OLE icon I got the following error:
Error with activating object
General error.
General input/output error.
General OLE error

There please consider an embed PDF file(s) within the *.odt file document
like described above

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fix the OLE import function
2. consider a different more easier approach (just embed PDF file(s) with the
ODT extension)

Actual Results:
In 6.1.1.2 LibreOffice Writer - Import Object - OLE Object
Select from existing document (I have Dutch version, I translated the Dutch
text to English)
and select both check marks (select, and show as pictogram)
Then browse to an PDF file and add the file, this works, 
an pictogram is shown in the document,but after clicking the OLE icon
These errors are shown: Error with activating object
General error.
General input/output error.
General OLE error

Expected Results:
Errors:
Error with activating object
General error.
General input/output error.
General OLE error


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
the PDF file should be opened, after I double clicked the OLE icon.
