    Hi nimishbhuta,

     

    The following code adds a pdf file to an Excel file - it works on my computer:

    Sub Test

  Set Excel = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application")
  Excel.Workbooks.Open("<path to your Excel file>")
  
  Set Ws = Excel.ActiveSheet

  'Add the pdf file
  Set OLEObj=Ws.OLEObjects.Add(,"<path to your PDF file>",true,false)
  
  'If you want to add the file to a specific place
    With OLEObj
        .Left = Ws.Range("A1").Left
        .Height = Ws.Range("A1").Height
        .Width = Ws.Range("A1").Width
        .Top = Ws.Range("A1").Top
    End With
 
  Excel.Quit
End Sub

     

    P.S. Sometimes I simply love coding :)

Hello Carson, 

 

This is not much useful as it shows how to do it in C#. I am using the vbscript, please let me know how can I insert the PDF file into excel sheet. 

 

Regards,

What cunderw  posted was simply the article indicating the existance of the method.  The first link has examples in multiple code languages that show how to instantiate the excel object and call methods.  You should be able to adapt the two into what you need.
