Inserting PDFs to a scrolling panel

The problem for me with converting the pdf to an image is that all the hyperlinks within the pdf are then not active.  If I copy/paste from Word into a text box, then put that into the scroll panel, I lose all the formatting.  It would be great if we could insert a pdf document, that keeps the formatting (e.g., embedded fonts/colors) and active links.  We have about 50 3-5 page documents and trying to re-format every page of every document is very daunting.  Setting it up as a web object is also problematic because our contract for this project is limited (US Dept. of Ed) and if we have to turn resources over to a new management group, all the links would then be disconnected when it shifted to a new server.  Everything needs to be self-contained whenever possible.  Just problematic.
