Technically no, but by default windows hides the file extensions that are known by the computer. A file that may really be an exe could be file.pdf.exe, so the ".exe" will be hidden, tricking you into believing that it is a pdf.

You cannot embed an EXE file in a PDF document.
You can embed an EXE within another EXE or MSI but not inside a PDF which is essentially a postscript document.
However there are PDF documents distributed as EXE files. The Copysafe PDF solution used to create protected PDF documents with an EXE option that installed a reader if their proprietary reader was not already installed. However they stopped this practice because users had problems sending the documents by email... most mail servers now ban EXE attachments.
