Emending PDF files into OpenXML WordprocessingML

Question

I am strugling with Open XML SDK and embedding pdf files into a docx file.

1. I do not want to use automation
2. I am able to create *.bin files from everything except from *.pdf (see this question)

Anyone has experience with this? From what I've gathered you must create a *.bin file in order to embedd any file into Word *.docx document (except images). Is that correct?

Answer 1

The reason for pdf not working was in fact in acrobat reader. When Ive installed older version (or did not have AR installed at all), it started to work.

Answer 2

If you can't find a pure C# solution, you could consider the commercial product docx4j OLE Helper IKVM'd.
