Well.
So is there any way I can see the contents of word and excel files in
PDF?

By this you probably mean: will the content of the external file be
converted to PDF? That's not embedding, that's converting:
the original file is lost. iText can't convert Word docs or XLS to PDF,
but it can convert txt, jpeg, jpeg2000, TIFF, gif, png, and other files
to PDF. In some cases, the original bytes are conserved, in other cases,
they are replaced by other bytes specific to PDF. You will see the same
thing in the PDF as in the original file, but the bits and bytes will be
different.

That's typical when you EMBED external files. The external files are
taken AS-IS and added to the PDF. There are different ways to do this.
If you want them to be accessible through an icon, that's possible, but
it's not necessary. All this is explained in the Wiki.
