Workaround for non-Adobe PDF on imported images

SOLVED

I have searched and not found so I apologize in advance if this task is asked elsewhere...

We utilize a non-Adobe PDF creator/reader and exclude by security policy the download or installation of such. Not up for debate as I have very little control over our security footprint.  This is causing a great deal of frustration when attempting to import and link a PDF (non-Adobe) to the asset.  The pop-up error specifically tells me to install Adobe PDF to fix the issue.  In today's "open" environment I am certain that someone else has faced this issue.  Is there a known workaround for an non-Adobe PDF creator like Foxit or PDFCreator?

Thanks,

Tom
