Insert an Adobe (.pdf) form into a slide AND it be interactive

[Guest]

I want to insert an Adobe format (.pdf) form into a slide and be able to
access the form while in PowerPoint slide show mode using an Adobe
application which would be open in the background. I have used the insert
object feature, but have ended up with just the Adobe icon in the slide.
Ocassionally, the form will appear, but I cannot access it while in slide
show mode; i have to exit slide show and then access the form. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

After inserting the PDF as an object, right click it, choose Action Settings
and set Object Action to Open or Play or whatever's available (might need to
try several options to find one that works best for you)

Steve, many thanks. It worked - sort of. I did as you explained, marking each form with the action to "open progarm on mouse click" and run Adobe. The only problem was that Adobe opened with a blank page. I finally figured out to open each form I needed and minimize them all in Adobe. Then when Adobe opened, I clicked on the form I wanted and it came up in an interactive mode.

Thanks, again, for the advice.
