Attach auditor statements as PDF directly in your Word report

You can now attach your auditor's statement - or any other PDF document - directly to your report using the Highlights add-in. No more switching between tools or manually placing screenshots. Upload a PDF, and it becomes part of your document.

One document, everything included

Annual reports and financial statements often need to include the auditor's statement as part of the final deliverable. Until now, that meant working around Word's limitations - converting pages to images, aligning them manually, and hoping nothing shifted during the next revision cycle.

With the new PDF attachment feature in Highlights, the process is straightforward: place your cursor below a heading, upload or drag in a PDF file, and the add-in renders each page as a high-quality image inside your Word document. Done.

A Wrepit element you can manage

The attached PDF isn't just a static image dump. It appears as a Wrepit element - listed in the element overview alongside your other report components. That means you can navigate to it, track it, and manage it just like any other element in your document. If you need to replace the auditor's statement with an updated version, you know exactly where it lives.

How it works

1. Open the Highlights add-in in your Word document
2. Place your cursor below the heading where the PDF should appear
3. Upload or drag a PDF file into the add-in
4. Each page is rendered as a high-quality image and inserted into your document
5. The PDF appears in your element list, ready to navigate to and manage

Good to know

The feature currently supports A4 portrait PDFs - which covers the vast majority of auditor's statements and formal financial documents. This ensures consistent rendering and a clean result in your final report.

Why this matters

Reports are assembled from many sources. The auditor's statement is one of the last pieces to arrive, often under time pressure. Being able to drop it straight into your Word document - without leaving the writing environment - removes a manual step and keeps your workflow in one place.

Give it a try next time you're assembling a report, and let us know what you think.
