insert as an object in multipage pdf file

Is there a way to specify which page you want to insert as an object from a
mulitpage pdf file in PP2007? The needed page is not page 1; however,
inserting the pdf always shows page 1 and doesn't provide any options I could
find to select the page to insert. I realize I can break up the pdf file and
save out the page I need, but not all my coworkers have the ability to do
this. Since this is a CAD drawing pdf, using insert object gives the best
screen and print resolution, so we don't want to insert the page as a
screenshot or other "picture" version of it.

If there is a way to do this, I'd appreciate learning how.

thanks

Hi,

As you found out it's really difficult. Have a look here first:

An alternative you can try is to to split the PDF into single pages:

I haven't tried the product but it looks promising.
